EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, titled "Midas of Phrygia arranging an alliance with Urartu" transports us back to ancient times and offers a glimpse into the world of diplomacy and power. Created by Allan Stewart in 1865, this print showcases the historical event where King Mita, also known as Midas of Phrygia, solidifies an alliance with the state of Urartu. Intriguingly depicted is King Mita seated on his majestic throne, adorned in regal robes that exude authority and prestige. His presence commands attention as he receives a distinguished embassy from Urartu. The ambassadors stand before him, their turbans symbolizing their noble status while bearing gifts or messages representing their nation's commitment to this newfound partnership. Every detail has been meticulously captured by Stewart's skilled hand: from the intricate engravings on the palace walls to the fine craftsmanship evident in every fold of fabric. This lithograph not only portrays a significant moment in history but also serves as a testament to Stewart's artistic prowess. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how alliances were forged even centuries ago for mutual benefit and protection against common enemies like Assyria. It invites us to reflect upon the timeless themes of leadership, diplomacy, and cooperation that continue to shape our world today.
