EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of Constantin Cantacuzeno" a reproduction of a fresco found in the monastery of Hurez. The original artwork was created by an anonymous Romanian artist and is now part of a private collection. Constantin Cantacuzeno, depicted in this portrait, was an influential figure in Wallachia during the 17th century. A true patriot, scholar, and writer, he played a crucial role in persuading his brother Prince Serban Cantacuzeno to establish the renowned Saint Sava College in Bucharest back in 1694. Educated at Padua University, Constantin's intellectual prowess is evident through his notable work titled "History of Wallachia" (Istoria Tarii Rumanesti). This historical account sheds light on the rich heritage and cultural significance of Romania. The image captures Constantin's noble stature and aristocratic demeanor. Clad in luxurious fur garments adorned with ermine trimmings, he exudes elegance befitting his social standing. His presence reflects not only his own prominence but also represents the aristocracy that shaped Eastern Europe during that era. This photograph offers viewers a glimpse into Romanian history while honoring one of its most esteemed figures. It serves as a testament to Constantin Cantacuzeno's enduring legacy as both an intellectual force and advocate for education within society.
