EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting collection of Byzantine royals from the 7th to the 11th century, as depicted in the intricately detailed illustrations of Jean-Baptiste Racinet's Costumes Ancients. The Byzantine Empire, a major cultural and political power during this period, is renowned for its grandeur and opulence, which is beautifully captured in these images. Emperors and empresses are depicted in their resplendent regalia, adorned with gold, jewels, and rich fabrics. The male emperors are often shown wearing long robes, fur-trimmed cloaks, and diadems, while the empresses are depicted in elegant gowns, veils, and intricate headdresses. The imperial court was a place of grand ceremonies and pageantry, and these illustrations offer a glimpse into the splendor and majesty of Byzantine royal life. The Byzantine Empire was a melting pot of influences, and this is reflected in the diverse costumes and styles depicted in the print. Some emperors and empresses are shown wearing traditional Greek or Roman clothing, while others are influenced by Persian, Sassanian, or even Scandinavian styles. The intricate patterns and designs on their clothing are a testament to the artistic and cultural richness of the Byzantine Empire. The print also offers a fascinating insight into the historical context of the Byzantine Empire, providing a visual record of the rulers and their reigns during a period of great change and development. From the iconoclast controversy to the rise of the Macedonian dynasty, these illustrations offer a unique perspective on the history of this remarkable civilization.
