Persian Principal Scepter Spalart Throne Median
EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, titled "Median King and Persian King Seated on a Throne," is an exquisite depiction of two ancient monarchs from the Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, created by Robert von Spalart in 1796. The image showcases the grandeur and majesty of the Median and Persian kings as they sit on ornate thrones, each holding a scepter in their right hand. The Median king, dressed in a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate patterns, wears a tall, conical crown on his head. His beard is long and flowing, reaching down to his chest. The Persian king, on the other hand, is depicted in a more traditional Persian attire, with a long tunic and a high, pointed cap on his head. His beard is also long but styled in a more pointed fashion. The thrones on which they sit are intricately designed, with elaborate carvings and decorative elements. The background of the image is filled with various soldiers and attendants, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning representation of ancient history. The Medes and Persians were two powerful tribes in ancient Iran, with the Medes ruling before the Persians. This image provides a glimpse into the rich history and culture of these ancient civilizations, offering a glimpse into their grandeur and power. The intricate details and beautiful colors of this copperplate engraving make it a valuable historical artifact and a testament to the artistic skill of Robert von Spalart.
