EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Monuments of Ninevah: Plate 6, Fish-god (Nimroud); Figure near an Entrance (Kouyunjik)" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Ninevah. Created by Austen Henry Layard in 1853, this artwork showcases his remarkable talent for capturing historical artifacts and architectural wonders. The central focus of the print is a mesmerizing figure known as the Fish-god Nimroud. Standing proudly near an entrance at Kouyunjik, this deity exudes power and mystery. The intricate details meticulously rendered by Layard bring out the essence of this divine creature – from its fish-like body to its human-like face adorned with elaborate headdress and jewelry. Layard's choice of black and beige hues adds a sense of antiquity to the lithograph, enhancing our connection to the past. The sheet size measures approximately 37.9 x 57 cm, while each image on either side provides closer views measuring around 34.9 x 17.8 cm and 34.9 x 14.6 cm respectively. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we are transported to a time when civilizations flourished along the banks of the Tigris River in Mesopotamia. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, remnants of these magnificent cultures can still be admired today through art like Layard's lithograph.
