EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the ancient city of Persepolis. Titled "Combat of king with griffin" this engraving is found in palace No 8 and depicts an epic battle between a powerful king and a fearsome griffin. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring, as every muscle and feather seems to come alive. The artists behind this masterpiece are Georges Perrot and Charles Chipiez, who created it for their renowned work "History of Art in Persia". This particular illustration was featured in their book published by Chapman and Hall in 1892. It now resides within a private collection, adding to its exclusivity and allure. Persepolis itself holds immense historical significance as the capital of the Persian Empire during its peak. This sculpture serves as a testament to the artistic prowess that thrived within these ancient walls. The fusion of Persian artistry with mythical creatures like the griffin creates an enchanting narrative that transports viewers back through time. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how art has preserved moments from our past. Through prints like these, we gain insight into cultures long gone while appreciating their artistic achievements. Bridgeman Images has once again brought us closer to history with this extraordinary piece from Fine Art Finder's collection
