EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic figure of Belisaire, a historical character from the 6th century. Belisaire, blind and reduced to begging, is depicted here by the order of Justinian, to whom he had once given gold and conquered lands. The engraving is taken from "Histoire des Papes-Rois-Queen and Empereurs a travers les centuries" by Maurice Lachatre in 1863. The image evokes a sense of misery and poverty as Belisaire sits on the streets, relying on charity for survival. His once noble status as a conqueror has been stripped away, leaving him destitute and forgotten. This portrayal highlights the fleeting nature of power and wealth in society. The artist's skillful use of shading creates depth in this medium age-inspired artwork. Stefano Bianchetti masterfully captures every detail, emphasizing Belisaire's despair through his expressionless face. Through this powerful depiction, we are reminded of the fragility of life's circumstances and how quickly one can fall from grace. It serves as a poignant reminder that even those who were once revered can find themselves at rock bottom. This thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect on our own perceptions of success and privilege while urging us to extend compassion towards those less fortunate than ourselves.
