EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Hall in Assyrian palace (restored), 1849" takes us on a journey back in time to the grandeur of ancient Mesopotamia. Created by Austen Henry Layard, this artwork is part of his collection "The monuments of Nineveh" which showcases drawings made during his explorations. In this particular scene, we are transported to a magnificent hall adorned with ornate murals and intricate stone carvings. The focal point of the composition is the awe-inspiring lamassu - human-headed winged lions that stand guard at the entrance. These majestic figures symbolize divinity and serve as protectors of the palace. Built by King Sennacherib around 705-681 BC in Nineveh, Akkadian capital, this hall holds great historical significance. It was later expanded upon by Sennacherib's grandson Ashurbanipal, who also established an impressive library within its walls. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of ancient Assyria with its detailed illustrations and vibrant colors. It offers us a glimpse into a world filled with chariots, processions, and mythical creatures like these winged lions. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' collection at the New York Public Library, we can't help but marvel at the skillful restoration work that brings these archaeological wonders back to life. This artwork serves as a testament to both Layard's dedication as an archaeologist and artistically preserving our rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
