EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a relief depicting a Winged Genie, originating from the Palace of Sargon II at Khorsabad in Iraq. Created by Assyrian artists during the 8th century BC, this stone sculpture now resides in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The image captures every intricate detail of this ancient masterpiece, highlighting its meticulously carved muscles and majestic wings. The Winged Genie is depicted as a powerful protector figure with a long flowing beard and adorned with a flower bracelet on its arm. In one hand, it holds an intricately designed basket or vessel, symbolizing abundance and fertility. Its other hand grasps what appears to be a bag or pouch, perhaps containing magical powers or treasures. The craftsmanship of this sculpture is truly awe-inspiring; each feather on the genie's wings is delicately rendered with precision and skill. The artist's attention to detail brings life to this mythical creature that has captivated imaginations for centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to an era when mythology and belief intertwined seamlessly. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of such artifacts that have survived through millennia.
