EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Nineveh Sculptures, an engraving created by the English School in the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, these sculptures are a testament to the rich history and archaeological wonders of Mesopotamia. The image transports us back to ancient Assyria, where we witness an extraordinary procession led by evil genii. These mythical beings, depicted with intricate detail and craftsmanship, exude an aura of mystery and power. The copper mace head gleams in the sunlight as it symbolizes authority and strength. Etched onto slabs of stone, these sculptures were once part of the majestic city of Nineveh that stood proudly on the banks of Tigris River. However, time has taken its toll on this magnificent site, leaving only remnants behind. Khorsabad is another lost city mentioned here; both cities were once thriving centers of civilization. Through this evocative artwork captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with archaeology and our desire to uncover stories from our past. This print serves as a window into a forgotten world - one filled with grandeur, mythological creatures, and cultural significance that continues to captivate scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
