EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment from the 11th-12th century, showcasing Grand Princess Olga visiting Constantine VII. The anonymous artist beautifully depicts this encounter in a miniature from the Madrid Skylitzes, which is now housed in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid. The image transports us back to a time when Christianity and saints played pivotal roles in society. Princess Olga's visit to Constantine VII holds great significance as it symbolizes the christening or baptism of Kievan Rus, an event that marked the introduction of Russian Orthodoxy into Kiev. As a grand princess and member of the Rurik dynasty, Olga's actions had far-reaching consequences for both Byzantium and Kiev. The fine art watercolor on parchment showcases intricate details and vibrant colors typical of medieval art. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill but also provides valuable insights into Byzantine history and culture during this period. Johannes Skylitzes, also known as Scylitza or Skylitza, was responsible for compiling this remarkable book art piece known as "Skylitzes Matritensis". Through his work, he immortalized important events such as the baptism of Kievan Rus and shed light on figures like Grand Princess Olga and Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos. This print serves as a visual testament to these historical figures' legacies while reminding us of their contributions to shaping both Byzantine Empire history and Russian Orthodoxy.
