EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Stele of the Storm God Teshub, a remarkable piece of ancient art from Korkun, Turkey. Crafted in basalt by Neo-Hittite artisans during the 9th century BC, this monumental stele now resides in the esteemed Gaziantep Archaeological Museum. The image captures the intricate details and powerful symbolism embodied within this ancient masterpiece. Standing tall and proud, Teshub is depicted wielding a trident, sword, and hammer - symbols of his dominion over storms, warfare, and fertility. The male figure exudes strength and authority as he gazes into eternity. The fine craftsmanship evident in every curve and line reveals an extraordinary level of skill possessed by its creators. The texture of the basalt adds depth to the composition while also hinting at centuries of weathering endured by this enduring artifact. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where gods were revered as forces that shaped human existence. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to history and how ancient civilizations sought divine protection amidst tumultuous times. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured not only the physical beauty but also the spiritual significance embedded within this artwork. This print allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical importance without any commercial connotations distracting from its true essence.
