EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief depicting the tributaries of Sargon II, taken from the Palace of Sargon II at Khorsabad in Iraq. Created by Assyrian artists during the 8th century BC, this gypsum sculpture measures an impressive 162x306 cm and is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The intricately carved scene portrays a soldier leading horses adorned with bridles and tack. The soldier stands proudly while offering gifts and offerings to signify tribute. His stoic expression reflects his duty as he holds a spear firmly in hand, ready to protect his kingdom. Cuneiform writing can be seen inscribed on various parts of the relief, adding historical significance to this masterpiece. The text likely describes the conquests and achievements of Sargon II's reign. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every element from spears to farm animals has been meticulously crafted by skilled artisans. This relief not only serves as a testament to Assyria's military might but also highlights their appreciation for wildlife and livestock. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this artwork through their lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time, marveling at the talent and creativity that existed centuries ago within ancient civilizations like Assyria.
