EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Mithridates VII or Sanatruk, a prominent member of the Arsacid dynasty who reigned as King of Armenia during the 1st century. The portrait, captured in 1830 by an unknown creator, exudes an air of regality and mystery. Clothed in traditional attire befitting his royal status, Mithridates stands tall with a stoic expression on his face. His profile is highlighted against a plain backdrop, emphasizing his commanding presence and dignified demeanor. A hat adorns his head, adding to the aura of authority that surrounds him. The historical significance of this image cannot be understated. Hagiographic tradition holds Mithridates responsible for the martyrdom of St. Thaddeus, one of the apostles who spread Christianity in Armenia. This connection between religion and monarchy adds another layer to our understanding of Mithridates' complex character. Displayed within Alfred Howard's "Biographical Illustrations" this engraving offers us a glimpse into both ancient history and 19th-century literature. It serves as a testament to how art can bridge different eras while preserving important narratives from centuries past. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded not only of Mithridates' role as a monarch but also his place in Armenian history and culture. Through this photograph print from Heritage Images, we are invited to delve deeper into the intriguing life story behind this mysterious ruler whose legacy continues to captivate our imagination today.
