EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The First Horseman" a remarkable artwork attributed to the renowned German artist Master Bertram of Hamburg. Created in the 14th-15th century, this panel is part of the Altarpiece of the Apocalypse and can be found at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The image portrays an imposing figure on horseback, identified with Roman Emperor Gaius (AD37-41), also known as Caligula. The emperor's regal presence is enhanced by his vibrant royal attire, which stands out against the muted background. Mounted on a majestic steed, he holds a bow and arrow, symbolizing power and authority. Master Bertram's attention to detail shines through in this historic masterpiece. Every brushstroke captures not only Gaius' likeness but also conveys his commanding personality. The composition exudes strength and confidence while highlighting the bond between man and horse. As we admire this stunning portrayal from centuries past, we are transported back to ancient Rome—a time when emperors ruled with might and grandeur. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill of Master Bertram and our collective human history. With its rich colors, intricate details, and historical significance, "The First Horseman" remains an invaluable treasure housed within one of Europe's most prestigious museums—the Victoria and Albert Museum—an institution dedicated to preserving art for generations to come.
