EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Nineve" is a stunning depiction of the ancient city of Nineveh from Hartmann Schedel's Liber Chronicarum. Created in 1493 by an anonymous German artist, this artwork showcases the remarkable talent and attention to detail prevalent during the 15th century. The image transports us back in time to the Middle Ages, where we witness the grandeur of Nineveh's walls and gateways. The towering entrance gates stand as formidable structures, guarding access to this bustling cityscape. Statues adorn these magnificent walls, adding an air of majesty and cultural significance. As our eyes wander through this medieval metropolis, we are captivated by the intricate architecture that comprises Nineveh. The buildings rise proudly against the sky, showcasing their unique designs and craftsmanship. Each structure tells a story of its own within this historical tapestry. Hartmann Schedel's Nuremberg Chronicle was renowned for its comprehensive account of world history up until that point. This woodcut print serves as a visual representation of his meticulous research and dedication to capturing historical accuracy. Today, this print remains part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. Its presence reminds us not only of ancient civilizations but also pays homage to Schedel's significant contributions as a physician, humanist, historian, and cartographer. As we gaze upon "Nineve" we are transported across centuries into a world long gone but forever preserved within art's timeless embrace.
