EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of history, the Consular dyptych representing Boezius and Lampadius. This bas-relief in ivory is carefully preserved within the walls of the Museo Cristiano in Brescia, Italy. Dating back to the 5th century AD, this consular dyptych showcases intricate craftsmanship and artistic mastery of Byzantine art. The composition is rich with symbolism, depicting two prominent figures from ancient times - Boezius and Lampadius. The image reveals an array of fascinating details that offer glimpses into medieval life. An inscription adorns the artwork, hinting at its historical significance. Writing instruments are delicately carved alongside architectural elements such as tympanums and building decorations. Intriguingly, military motifs also find their place on this masterpiece. A sword stands proudly amidst arms, armor, and other military equipment - a testament to the importance placed on armed forces during those times. The fashion choices depicted here provide insight into clothing trends prevalent in Byzantine society. Footwear accessories can be observed along with mantles or cloaks worn by these distinguished individuals. Nature's touch is evident through leafy vegetal compositions adorning sections of this artwork while wreaths add an element of elegance to the overall design. As we gaze upon this print captured between 1915-1920 by Alinari Fratelli photographers, we are transported back through time to witness a slice of European history spanning over a millennium. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared past but also highlights the enduring beauty found within works of art like this consular dyptych representing Boezius and Lampadius
