EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases fragments of mural paintings from the palace of Tukulti-Ninurta I, located in Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta, Assyria. The lighter shades represent the reconstructed parts of these ancient artworks, which date back to 1260-1240 B. C. These fragments were discovered in modern-day Iraq and provide a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of Mesopotamia. The palace was named after Tukulti-Ninurta I, an influential Assyrian king who commissioned its construction. This archaeological site offers valuable insights into the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Assyrian architecture and design. The print is taken from "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" a book by Helmuth Bossert that features explanatory text alongside Ernst Wasmuth's lithographs. Published in Berlin in 1928 by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , this comprehensive work explores various decorative styles throughout history. The floral patterns depicted on these mural fragments reflect the exquisite taste and attention to detail prevalent during this period. They serve as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance within Assyrian society. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites viewers to appreciate the beauty and historical value preserved within these fragmented pieces. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human civilization, transcending time and connecting us with our ancestors' creative expressions.
