EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an antique illustration of the majestic palace of Nimrud, located near Mosul, Iraq. The artwork, created in the 19th century by Viollett-Le-Duc, beautifully captures a part of the ancient Assyrian city's grandeur. Adorned with intricate decorations such as Lamassu statues - mythical creatures with human heads, lion or bull bodies, and wings - as well as steles and sculptured slabs, this architectural masterpiece is a testament to the rich history and culture of Mesopotamia. Unfortunately, this archaeological site suffered damage at the hands of Daesh in 2015. However, through this print, we can still appreciate its former glory. The image exudes a retro charm with its cut-out style and Victorian influences. The palace stands tall amidst a backdrop of old buildings and bustling streets filled with people going about their daily lives. Its classical architecture reflects an era long gone but not forgotten. This famous landmark serves as a reminder of the diverse cultures that once thrived in this region. With its engraved details and painted imagery reminiscent of Mesopotamian artistry from centuries past, this antique illustration transports us back to the 8th and 9th centuries BC when Iraqi culture flourished. Displayed against a clean white background within a block shape frame adds to its timeless appeal. This print is more than just an artistic product; it is an homage to archaeology itself – preserving fragments from our collective past for generations to come.
