EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the iconic painting "Queen Tomyris with the head of Cyrus the Great" by Luca Ferrari. The artwork, housed in Galleria e Museo Estense in Modena, Italy, depicts a powerful moment from ancient history. In this scene, we witness Queen Tomyris, a formidable Asian ruler known for her strength and determination. Standing amidst her attendants and courtiers, she holds the severed head of Cyrus II - the Persian king who had caused immense grief to her people. The artist skillfully captures Queen Tomyris' resolute expression as she seeks justice for her fallen son. Her armor symbolizes both protection and power while emphasizing her role as a warrior queen. The writing on parchment nearby suggests that she is documenting this historic act of revenge. Luca Ferrari's masterpiece not only immortalizes an important event but also explores themes of justice and retribution. It serves as a reminder that even great rulers are subject to consequences for their actions. Queen Tomyris stands tall as an embodiment of resilience and determination against those who have wronged her people. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's unwavering pursuit of justice – forever etched into history through artistry and storytelling.
