EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient Assyrian civilization of the 7th century B. C. The scene depicted is none other than Ashurbanipal, a powerful ruler, engaging in one of his favorite pastimes - hunting. Surrounding him are his loyal squires, ready to assist and accompany him on this exhilarating adventure. The relief carving from the Royal Palaces of Nineveh showcases intricate details and craftsmanship that Mesopotamian art is renowned for. Against an orange background, we see Ashurbanipal mounted on a majestic horse, exuding authority and strength as he brandishes his bow and arrow. The vertical composition adds a sense of grandeur to the artwork while emphasizing the height and power of both man and beast. The colored background further enhances the vibrancy of this archaeological artifact, allowing us to imagine how it might have looked centuries ago. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we can't help but be transported into a world long gone by – a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even though there are no people present in this particular representation, their legacy lives on through these remarkable relics from our past. This print captures not only an ancient civilization's love for hunting but also its dedication to preserving its culture through art and craft. It stands as evidence of our collective fascination with antiquities and offers us a glimpse into an era filled with tales waiting to be discovered anew.
