EDITORS COMMENTS
Theodosius I the Great, Flavio (34-395), Roman emperor, is captured in this powerful print as he humbly performs penance as an Orthodox Christian. This image transports us back to the 4th century AD, allowing us a glimpse into the religious devotion of one of Rome's most influential emperors. In this engraving by Santiago Ortega, Theodosius I stands tall yet contemplative, his face etched with solemnity and remorse. As a pivotal figure in history, Theodosius I played a significant role in shaping Christianity within the Roman Empire. Here we witness him engaging in acts of self-reflection and repentance for his past actions. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this vertical composition, emphasizing Theodosius I's internal struggle between power and piety. His regal attire serves as a reminder that even great rulers are not exempt from spiritual accountability. This photograph print brings together two essential aspects: religion and politics. It reminds us that faith can influence those who hold positions of authority profoundly. Through this image, we are invited to reflect on our own beliefs while contemplating the complexities of leadership. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by an unknown artist, it becomes clear that Theodosius I's commitment to his faith left an indelible mark on both Roman history and Christianity itself.
