EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the Ur-Nammu Dynasty, dating back to 2112-2004 BC. Crafted out of copper by the skilled Sumerian-Mesopotamian School during the 22nd-21st century BC, this piece is now housed in The Morgan Library & Museum in New York City, USA. The sculpture depicts an awe-inspiring figure believed to be King Ur-Nammu himself. Standing tall and regal, this ancient ruler exudes power and authority through his commanding presence. The intricate details carved into the copper bring forth a sense of realism and mastery that truly captivates viewers. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Mesopotamia, reminding us of the incredible artistic achievements achieved by civilizations thousands of years ago. The Morgan Library & Museum itself holds great significance as it was founded by J. P. Morgan in memory of his father John Pierpont Morgan in 1924. Designed by architect Charles Follen Mac Kim, it stands as both a research library and museum dedicated to preserving and showcasing exceptional works like this one. Through Jean Bernard's lens, we are given a glimpse into the beauty and grandeur encapsulated within this ancient sculpture – an enduring symbol of strength and legacy that continues to inspire admiration today.
