EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment when the once-great Byzantine general, Belisarius, is reduced to begging on the streets of Constantinople. Belisarius, a renowned military leader under Emperor Justinian I, had led the Byzantine Empire to numerous victories and expansions during the early 6th century. However, his fortunes took a dramatic turn when he was falsely accused of treason and stripped of his rank and honors. In this historical scene, Belisarius, dressed in tattered clothes and with a begging bowl in hand, is shown pleading for alms from a kind-hearted child. The expression of sadness and desperation on his face conveys the depth of his fall from grace. The backdrop of the bustling street scene adds a sense of reality and contrast to the tragic scene unfolding. This image offers a glimpse into the complexities of Byzantine history and the human stories that lie beneath the political intrigue and power struggles. Belisarius' story serves as a reminder of the fragility of power and the humility that can come with adversity. The image also highlights the importance of charity and compassion, even in the face of hardship and suffering. This print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical record and an inspiring reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. It is believed to have been created circa 505, making it a rare and precious depiction of a pivotal moment in Byzantine history.
