EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable miniature from the 14th century, depicting the fearsome Viking warriors known as the Varangian Guard. Hailing from Denmark and Sweden, these Vikings embarked on extensive journeys along Eastern Europe's river network, constructing forts and leaving an indelible mark on history. Their expeditions reached as far as the Caspian Sea, laying the foundations for what would eventually become Russia. The artwork is sourced from "Synopsis historiarum" or "Chroniques byzantines" a compilation of Byzantine kings' stories and events spanning from 811 to 1057. Created by John Scylitza in the 11th-12th century, this masterpiece offers us a glimpse into medieval times through its intricate details and vivid colors. In this scene, we witness a Viking soldier clad in armor and helmet standing amidst an awe-inspiring cityscape. The artist skillfully captures both the strength of his character and his dedication to duty. Holding a formidable axe, he represents one of many valiant soldiers who defended their empire with unwavering loyalty. This historical artifact not only highlights the military prowess of these Scandinavian warriors but also serves as a testament to their lasting impact on architecture and culture within Byzantium. Through this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness an era brimming with epic tales of conquests, valorous battles, and enduring legacies.
