The VI century, a time of great historical significance and cultural diversity. From the powerful Emperor Justinian I, depicted in a captivating portrait that reflects his authority and influence over the Byzantine Empire. Moving on to the defeat and death of Didier of Toulouse before Carcassonne, an engraving that immortalizes a significant event in European history. Venturing beyond Europe, we encounter Inca Viracocha from Tiahuanaco Classico, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of ancient South America. The intricate details of this sculpture transport us back to a time when civilizations flourished across different continents. Shifting gears to the Middle Ages, Pope Hormisdas emerges through an evocative drawing from "I misteri del vaticano. " This representation offers insight into religious power dynamics during this era. In another corner of history lies Muhammad's journey to Medina (Hijra), captured in an engraving alongside Abu Bakr. Their migration symbolizes resilience against persecution and marks a turning point for Islam. Returning to Europe once more, we encounter elements from the Staffordshire Hoard—a treasure trove revealing exquisite craftsmanship with gold and silver helmet reconstructions. These artifacts provide glimpses into early medieval life. Boece (Boezio, Boetius), an Italian philosopher whose portrait is found within "I misteri del vaticano, " reminds us of intellectual pursuits during this period—an age marked by both turmoil and enlightenment. Further exploring religious figures, we come across yet another depiction of Prophet Mohammed or Muhammad—this time as an engraving capturing his essence as a spiritual leader who left an indelible mark on human history. Traveling eastward brings us face-to-face with Buddha from a stupa—a terracotta masterpiece that embodies serenity and wisdom prevalent throughout Buddhist traditions. Lastly, Lancelot du Lac takes center stage in Antoine Verard's illustration—a testament to chivalry and the enduring tales of King Arthur's court.
