EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the column inscription from the renowned Code of Hammurabi. Enacted by Hammurabi, King of Babylon around 1750 BC, this collection of exemplary judgments is an ancient testament to the establishment of law and order in Mesopotamia. The photograph captures the intricate cuneiform writing etched onto a basalt stele, standing tall at an impressive height of 225 cm. Located at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this historical artifact was discovered in Susa and belongs to the first Babylonian dynasty that reigned from 1792 to 50 BC. The image transports us back in time as we marvel at the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail displayed on this ancient relic. The relief work beautifully complements the profound significance behind these laws that governed society during Hammurabi's reign. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of humanity's eternal quest for justice and fairness throughout history. It serves as a powerful reminder that even thousands of years ago, societies recognized the importance of establishing rules to govern their actions. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this momentous piece with clarity and precision, allowing us to appreciate its historical value while also acknowledging its artistic beauty. This print truly encapsulates both our fascination with antiquity and our admiration for human progress through legal systems.
