Assyria Assyrian Bergama Comic Strip Pergamon Procession Relief Turkey
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the Altar of Zeus from Pergamon, dating back to 180-159 BC. The Altar, currently housed in the esteemed Pergamon Museum in Berlin, is a true testament to the artistic brilliance and craftsmanship of ancient civilizations. In this particular section captured by CM Dixon, we are treated to an exquisite stone relief sculpture that depicts a grand procession. Every intricate detail has been meticulously carved into the stone, bringing forth a sense of life and movement within the artwork. The vibrant colors used in this piece further enhance its visual impact and provide us with a glimpse into the rich palette favored by ancient artists. The Altar's connection to literature is also evident as it resembles scenes found in comic strips or even epic tales from Assyria. This fusion between art and storytelling adds another layer of intrigue to this remarkable artifact. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only the artistic genius but also gain insight into the cultural significance of this masterpiece. It serves as a reminder of Turkey's historical legacy and its contributions to arts throughout centuries
