EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oil painting by Harald Jerichau, titled 'The Lydian Plain near Sardis, Asia Minor (Turkey), 1878,' transports us back in time to the late 19th century and the beautiful, yet remote, Lydian Plain in Asia Minor, now modern-day Turkey. The Danish painter, Harald Adolf Nikolaj Jerichau, masterfully captures the serene and picturesque landscape, with its vast, undulating plains, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and a waterhole that draws the attention of a group of resting men and their caravan. The Lydian Plain, located in the Aegean region of Turkey, was an ancient kingdom in Western Asia, known for its rich cultural heritage and historical significance. Jerichau's painting offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the journey of these travelers as they make their way across the rugged terrain, perhaps on their way to the ancient city of Sardis, which was a significant archaeological site in the region. The painting's simple yet striking composition, with its muted color palette and meticulously rendered details, showcases Jerichau's exceptional artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place and its people. The pillars and columns in the background, remnants of ancient structures, add a sense of history and depth to the scene, making it a must-see for anyone interested in archaeology, art, or the history of Western Asia. This painting is a treasure in the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) and a testament to the enduring beauty and allure of the Lydian Plain and the rich cultural heritage of Turkey.
