EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Persian enamelled brick archer from the 6th century BC. Originally hailing from the Palace of Darius at Susa, this artefact is now proudly displayed in the Louvre's collection. The archer, a member of the Royal Guard, stands tall and resolute, embodying strength and precision. Adorned with vibrant colors and intricate enamel work, this guardsman epitomizes ancient Persian craftsmanship. His quiver rests on his back while he holds a formidable weapon - a bow or possibly even a spear - symbolizing his role as both protector and warrior. The image transports us to an era long gone but not forgotten; it offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Persia. As we marvel at this architectural masterpiece made entirely out of bricks, we are reminded of the grandeur that once graced palaces like Darius' in Susa. Through this photograph, we witness not only an extraordinary piece of art but also gain insight into ancient warfare techniques and weaponry employed by Iranian warriors during that time. It serves as a testament to their skillful craftsmanship and unwavering dedication to protecting their country. Intriguingly captured by CM Dixon's lens, this print invites us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It allows us to connect with our past while reminding us how far we have come as individuals and societies alike.
