EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 11th-12th century, known as the "School at the Time of Emperor Constantine VII". Created by an anonymous artist, this miniature painting is part of the Madrid Skylitzes collection housed in Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid. The artwork depicts a scene set in Byzantium during Emperor Constantine VII's reign. A teacher stands at the front of a classroom filled with eager schoolchildren - boys and girls alike. The schoolteacher appears engaged and passionate about imparting knowledge to these young minds. The fine details and vibrant colors captured on watercolor parchment bring this medieval art to life. It serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Byzantine Empire education. Johannes Skylitzes, also known as Scylitza or Skylitza, authored the book that inspired this masterpiece. The Madrid Skylitzes is renowned for its comprehensive account of Byzantine history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness an ordinary day within an ancient educational setting. This print not only celebrates artistic excellence but also highlights our shared human desire for learning and growth throughout centuries.
