EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the majestic Apadana Hall Eastern Stairway in Persepolis, Fars. Dating back to the 1840s-60s, this image captures the grandeur of ancient Achaemenian architecture and showcases the intricate carvings on its stone walls. The photograph, possibly taken by Luigi Pesce, an Italian photographer known for his archaeological documentation, is a testament to the rich heritage of Iran. The Apadana Palace stands as a symbol of Persian power and glory during the Achaemenid Empire. Its ruins tell stories of a bygone era when Persia was at its zenith. The staircase depicted here leads us into a world where art meets archaeology; each step reveals meticulously carved bas-reliefs that depict scenes from Assyrian history. As we gaze upon this albumen silver print, we are transported to another time and place – standing amidst these ruins ourselves. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this remarkable piece as part of their collection, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has captured not just a moment frozen in time but also our imagination with this stunning photograph. It serves as a reminder that even in ruinous decay, there is still immense beauty waiting to be discovered within ancient cities like Persepolis.
