EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Iustinus, the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire from 518 to 527. Created in 1559 by Rudolph Wyssenbach and printed by Andreas Gesner, this woodcut beautifully captures the essence of Iustinus' imperial persona. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship make this artwork a true testament to the artistic brilliance of its time. Iustinus is depicted with regal poise, wearing a majestic crown that symbolizes his authority and power. His profile is flawlessly rendered, capturing every contour and expression with remarkable precision. This portrait emanates strength and dignity, reflecting the grandeur associated with the Justinian Dynasty. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond Iustinus himself, as he incorporates elements such as inscriptions and coins into the composition. These additions not only enhance historical accuracy but also provide valuable insights into Byzantine culture during this period. Housed in a private collection, this rare woodcut offers viewers a glimpse into ancient history through artistry. Its inclusion in "Imperatorum romanorum omnium orientalium et occidentalium verissimae imagines ex antiquis numismatis" further solidifies its significance within historical documentation.
