EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Matei Basarab, the esteemed Prince of Wallachia and Moldavia. Captured around 1906 by an unknown artist, this portrait exudes a sense of regality and power. Matei Basarab was not only known for his political achievements but also for his significant contributions to art, literature, and religion during the 17th century. He is remembered as a patron of these fields, supporting artists and writers in their creative endeavors. The oval-shaped engraving depicts a man with a distinguished appearance, wearing traditional royal attire complete with an elegant hat. His well-groomed beard adds to his aura of wisdom and authority. Interestingly, this image draws connections to another influential figure from Wallachian history - Michael the Brave. Known for introducing the printing press to Wallachia in 1634 and creating its first code of laws, Michael's impact on society cannot be overstated. Preserved within the pages of Dr. H. F Helmolt's renowned work "The Worlds History" this historical photograph offers us a glimpse into the past while honoring these remarkable individuals who shaped Wallachia's cultural landscape.
