EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical encounter between two influential figures of the 5th century. In this image titled "Odoacer and the Monk Serverinus" we witness the meeting of Flavius Odoacer, a renowned barbarian statesman who became King of Italy, and Severinus of Noricum, an esteemed monk. The photograph exudes a sense of solemnity as both men stand outside a humble hut in what appears to be a rural setting. Odoacer, with his majestic presence and raised arm gesture, seems to be engaging in deep conversation with Severinus. The contrast between their appearances is striking; Odoacer's strong features adorned with a beard symbolizing power while Severinus emanates wisdom through his serene expression. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment - two distinct worlds colliding: politics and religion. As they converse amidst nature's backdrop, it becomes evident that their meeting holds great significance for both realms. This remarkable engraving from Cassells Illustrated Universal History provides us with a glimpse into the Middle Ages when political powers intertwined with religious beliefs. It serves as a testament to the intricate relationship between church and state during this era. As we contemplate this intriguing image, we are reminded of how history unfolds through encounters such as these - where individuals from different backgrounds come together to shape our collective narrative.
