EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Bas-relief of the investiture and victory of Ardashir II, a remarkable piece created by the Sasanian School in the 4th century. Located at Taq-e Bostan in Iran, this stone masterpiece depicts a significant moment in history. At its center, we witness Ardashir II receiving the symbol of royalty from his brother Shapur II. The ceremony is witnessed by Mithra, adding an air of divine presence to this grand event. However, what truly captures our attention is the figure lying prostrate under their feet - none other than Emperor Julian the Apostate. The bas-relief tells a story of triumph and power as it immortalizes Ardashir II's victory over Julian during his Persian campaign. It serves as a reminder of both political dominance and religious significance within ancient Iranian culture. Every detail in this artwork speaks volumes about coronation rituals, ceremonial traditions, and sibling dynamics. The intricate craftsmanship brings life to each character portrayed on this stone canvas. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen forever through artistry. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the historical importance but also the artistic brilliance that lies within this Bas-relief of Ardashir II's investiture and victory.
