EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail from a mid-6th century mosaic in the presbytery of San Vitale, Ravenna. The subject of this exquisite artwork is none other than Justinian I, the illustrious Emperor of the Byzantine Empire who reigned from 527 to 565 AD. In this portrayal, Justinian stands with an air of regality and power. He wears a resplendent crown that signifies his status as ruler, while a halo encircles his head, symbolizing his divine authority. His piercing gaze exudes wisdom and determination as he holds an object in his hand, perhaps representing one of the many achievements during his reign. The intricate details captured in this image transport us back to the medieval era when emperors held immense influence over their realms. The dark ages seem distant as we witness Justinian's commanding presence through this mosaic portrait.
