EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Les hypogees de Nakeh-i-Roustem" takes us on a journey to the mysterious underground world of ancient Iran. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print showcases an illustration from Charles Garnier and A Ammann's book "L Habitation Humaine". The image transports us to Nakeh-i-Roustem, where we are confronted with a series of mesmerizing cave dwellings carved into the rock formations. These unique habitats were once home to Iranian inhabitants during ancient times. As we explore this intricate engraving, we can't help but marvel at the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating these row houses within the caves. Each dwelling is meticulously detailed, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of its occupants. The atmosphere in this depiction is both haunting and awe-inspiring. The play of light and shadow adds depth to each grotto while emphasizing their secluded nature. It's as if time has stood still within these crypt-like spaces. Beyond being mere homes, these caves also served as tombs for those who had passed away. Tombstones dotting the landscape remind us of the cycle of life that unfolded within these hallowed grounds. Through this evocative engraving, Bridgeman Images captures not only a snapshot from history but also invites us to reflect on our own human existence – our need for shelter and our connection with ancestral roots.
