EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artistic impression of Nineveh, the ancient city that flourished during its peak power between 700 and 800 BC. The image is taken from "The Second Series of the Monuments of Nineveh" by Austin Henry Layard, a renowned publication from London in 1853. In this illustration, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and opulence of Nineveh. The city's majestic palaces rise proudly along the banks of the Tigris River in Upper Mesopotamia. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical archive piece, allowing us to envision what it must have been like during that era. As we explore this artwork further, we notice the clear blue sky reflecting on the calm waters below. A boat gently glides along the shore, adding a touch of human presence amidst this ancient civilization. This depiction not only serves as a testament to Assyrian history but also highlights their mastery over architecture and urban planning. With its tropical climate and picturesque landscapes, Nineveh was undoubtedly a remarkable travel destination even centuries ago. This artwork transports us through time and space, inviting us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to immerse ourselves in this momentous period while reminding us of our fascination with ancient civilizations. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in preserving our past for future generations to admire and learn from.
