EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a wall decoration from the Palace of Xerxes, Persepolis. The artwork, titled "Guardsman in Procession" dates back to 486-465 BC and was created by Achaemenid during the 5th century BC. Carved out of grey limestone, this relief fragment measures an impressive h:53.00 w:43.60 cm. The piece is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It is believed that this particular fragment originated from the west stairway of Xerxes' grand palace at Persepolis. Xerxes ascended to power in 486 BC after succeeding his father Darius I as king of Persia. Xerxes' empire was unparalleled in its vastness and strength, stretching from Libya to western India and Ethiopia to Afghanistan. This relief fragment depicts one of his guards with intricate details carved into the stone profile, including a distinguished beard. According to Herodotus' chronicles, Xerxes faced defeat at the hands of the Greeks due to their conflicting political systems - democracy versus monarchy. This image captures not only the artistic brilliance but also serves as a historical testament to significant events that shaped ancient civilizations. The photograph has been made available for public viewing through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images.
