EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning miniature of the legendary king of Persia, Artaxerxes III Ochos. Dating back to the 15th century, this artwork is taken from "Paralleles of illustrious men" by Plutarch, a renowned historian and biographer from ancient times. The delicate brushstrokes and intricate details bring this historical figure to life. Artaxerxes III Ochos was an influential ruler who reigned until his death in 338 BC. This portrait captures him in profile, wearing an ornate hat and a regal turban that symbolize his authority and Persian heritage. The artist skillfully uses illumination techniques to enhance the richness of colors and add depth to the composition. The manuscript itself is housed in Cesena's Biblioteca Malatestiana, serving as a testament to its historical significance. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this masterpiece through her lens, preserving it for generations to come. This image not only offers us a glimpse into ancient Persian culture but also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art throughout history. It invites us to appreciate the craftsmanship behind such works while sparking our curiosity about Artaxerxes III Ochos' reign and legacy. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time, connecting with both the artist's vision and Plutarch's writings on illustrious men from centuries ago.
