EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Huntsmen with Gazelle, hare & birds (Khorsabad), from Monuments of Nineveh" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Nineveh. The image showcases a group of skilled huntsmen, their bows and arrows at the ready, as they embark on a thrilling hunt. The men stand tall and proud, exuding strength and determination in their pursuit of prey. Their gazes are focused, scanning the horizon for any signs of movement. In this scene, nature's beauty is juxtaposed with man's primal instinct to survive. A majestic gazelle gracefully leaps through the air, its elegant form captured mid-flight. It represents both speed and agility - qualities that these hunters must possess to succeed in their quest. A startled hare scurries away in fear while colorful birds take flight overhead, adding an element of liveliness to the composition. The engraving by Layard transports us into an era long gone but not forgotten - Assyria during its heyday. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the daily lives and activities of our ancestors who relied on hunting for sustenance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection today, it serves as a reminder of humanity's connection with nature throughout history.
