EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Galla Placidia, the daughter of Roman Emperor Theodisius I, and her son Valentinian III. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print showcases a moment frozen in time from ancient history. Galla Placidia (388-450) was not only an empress but also a mother to Valentinian III (419-455), who would later become emperor himself. The artwork is based on an ivory diptych found in Monza Cathedral and serves as an illustration for Deutsche Geschichte by L Stacke (Velhagen & Klasing, 1882). The intricate relief carving captures the exquisite details of their costumes and portrays them with grace and elegance. Galla Placidia's regal presence is evident through her majestic attire, while her young son stands beside her with innocence and curiosity. This engraving offers us a glimpse into their lives during the 5th century, showcasing both their familial bond and their significant roles within Roman society. As we admire this piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal era in European history. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage that Germany holds as part of its historical legacy. Through this image, we can appreciate not only the beauty of motherhood but also gain insight into the political dynamics that shaped Europe during this period.
