EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the meticulous reconstruction of the entrance to the majestic palace of Sargon II, an Assyrian king who reigned from 721 to 705 BC. Located in Khorsabad, Iraq, this architectural marvel is brought back to life through a stunning color engraving by Felix Thomas in 1867. The grandeur and opulence of ancient Assyria are beautifully depicted in this image. The intricate details of the gate's design and sculpture are meticulously captured, allowing us to appreciate the skill and craftsmanship that went into its creation. Two magnificent winged bulls stand guard on either side of the entrance, their powerful presence symbolizing strength and protection. This artwork is not only a visual feast but also a valuable historical document. It comes from Victor Place's book "Ninive et L'Assyrie" providing insights into one of history's most influential civilizations. Through this image, we can immerse ourselves in the splendor and magnificence that once graced these ancient lands. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire this remarkable piece without any commercial restrictions. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and invites us to explore further into the rich tapestry of ancient civilizations like Assyria.
