EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored copperplate engraving by Giovanni Antonio Sasso, we are transported back to the Byzantine imperial court during the reign of Emperor Justinian I the Great (482-565 AD) and his legendary Empress Theodora (497-548 AD). The image, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1842, showcases the grandeur and sophistication of the Byzantine imperial court. At the center of the image stands Emperor Justinian I, dressed in imperial robes and adorned with a jeweled crown. He is depicted with a serious expression, symbolizing his strong and effective rule. To his right, Empress Theodora, known for her intelligence and beauty, is shown in elegant attire, her regal bearing exuding confidence and power. Surrounding the imperial couple are courtiers, dressed in the fashion of the time, adding to the overall sense of opulence and grandeur. In the background, we see the interior of a city, with intricately designed buildings made of cyclopean masonry and limestone boulders. The city's interior is adorned with stunning Mycenaean-inspired architecture, showcasing the Byzantine Empire's rich cultural heritage. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of one of the most powerful and influential rulers in history and his beloved wife, as well as the architectural marvels of the Byzantine Empire. The meticulous hand-coloring and intricate copperplate engraving techniques used by Sasso bring the image to life, making it a true work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
