EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the grandeur of The Palace of Kouyunjik, restored to its former glory. Created by Austen Henry Layard in the 19th century, this artwork offers a glimpse into the ancient city of Nineveh and its rich history. The imposing structure stands tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. Its intricate architectural details are meticulously captured in this litho print, allowing viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into constructing such an impressive palace. As one's eyes wander across the image, they are drawn to the chariot parked outside, symbolizing power and authority. Statues adorn every corner, reminding us of the significance placed on art during this era. These statues tell stories from Assyrian mythology and serve as guardians protecting this sacred space. Kouyunjik was once chosen by Sennacherib as his capital in 7th-century BC Assyria. This decision solidified its importance as a center for political and cultural activities during that time period. Today, we can admire this lithograph print as part of The Stapleton Collection – a testament to our fascination with ancient civilizations. It serves not only as a reminder of our past but also as an inspiration for future generations to explore and preserve these historical treasures.
