EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Merodach sets forth to attack Tiamat, 1915" transports us back to the ancient world of Mesopotamia. Created by artist Ernest Wellcousins as an illustration for Donald Alexander Mackenzie's book "Myths of Babylonia and Assyria" this print vividly depicts a legendary battle between two powerful deities. In this scene, Merodach, also known as Marduk, embarks on a perilous journey to confront the fearsome goddess Tiamat. The chariot he stands upon is pulled by majestic horses that seem to fly through the air with fiery determination. As Merodach drives forward with unwavering resolve, his divine presence emanates strength and courage. The color palette chosen by Wellcousins adds drama and intensity to the composition. Shades of red and orange symbolize the raging fire within Merodach's heart as he prepares for this epic clash. The intricate details in every stroke bring life not only to the characters but also to their surroundings - a mythical realm where gods and mortals coexist. This artwork serves as a reminder of the rich mythological heritage of Babylonia and Assyria, showcasing their belief systems and religious practices. It invites us into an ancient narrative filled with heroes, gods, and fantastical creatures that shaped these civilizations' understanding of themselves. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported across time
