EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the Hittite civilization, specifically an exquisite relief in basalt depicting a battle scene. Originating from Carchemish, Turkey, this ancient artifact dates back to the 8th century BC and serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Anatolian civilization. The intricate pattern carved into the basalt surface is truly awe-inspiring, demonstrating the skill and craftsmanship of these ancient artists. The relief portrays a fierce battle with great attention to detail - chariots charging forward, warriors wielding bow and arrow, and horses galloping with intensity. This dynamic sculpture captures the essence of warfare during that era. The male likeness depicted in this artwork reflects Middle Eastern culture prevalent at that time. Although no people are present in this studio shot photograph, one can imagine how such reliefs adorned temples or palaces during their heyday. Animal representation also plays a significant role in this masterpiece; horses symbolize power and strength while adding movement to the composition. As we observe this relic today, it offers us glimpses into Hittite society's military prowess and artistic sensibilities. This print not only preserves an important historical artifact but also invites us to appreciate its aesthetic beauty. It serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their contributions to human history through artistry that transcends time.
