EDITORS COMMENTS
This diptych print showcases the powerful figures of Stilicho, Serena, and Eucharius in intricate ivory detail. Created by an Italian School artist during the 5th century, this masterpiece now resides in the Basilica di San Giovanni Battista in Monza, Italy. At its center stands Stilicho, a renowned military commander and regent for Roman Emperor Honorius. Draped in majestic robes and holding a lance with authority, he exudes strength and leadership. Flanked on either side are his wife Serena and their son Eucharius. The family's unity is palpable as they stand together under a grand column adorned with shields symbolizing protection. The delicate craftsmanship of this ivory piece is truly remarkable. Every fold of fabric, every contour of their faces has been meticulously carved to perfection. This diptych not only captures the essence of these historical figures but also serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of its creator. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era characterized by political intrigue and military might. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, families can find solace in each other's unwavering support. A true treasure from antiquity, this diptych offers us a glimpse into the lives of those who shaped history while simultaneously celebrating the timeless beauty found within art itself.
