EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Philippicus, the Byzantine Emperor who reigned from 711 to 713. Created by Rudolph Wyssenbach and printed by Andreas Gesner in Zurich in 1559, this woodcut captures the essence of imperial power and grandeur. Philippicus is depicted with a regal crown adorning his head, symbolizing his authority as ruler. His profile is strikingly portrayed, highlighting his strong features and commanding presence. The intricate details carved into the woodcut bring out the depth and realism of this remarkable portrait. The illustration originates from "Imperatorum romanorum omnium orientalium et occidentalium verissimae imagines ex antiquis numismatis" a collection that includes accurate depictions of various Roman emperors throughout history. This particular image is accompanied by a description of Philippicus' life from Jacobus Strada's treasury. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are transported back to an era where coinage served as a medium for immortalizing rulers like Philippicus. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Byzantium and its enduring influence on art and history. This print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is part of Bridgeman Images' vast archive. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance.
