EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the ancient city of Arbela (Erbil) in Iraq during the Assyrian period, around 2200 B. C. The image showcases a typical group of individuals - a man, boys, and a girl - gathered at the center of Ishtar cult. The scene is filled with an air of mystery and intrigue as we witness these figures immersed in their religious practices. Dressed in traditional attire, they stand before an intricately designed altar adorned with symbols representing the powerful goddess Ishtar. The man exudes authority and wisdom, his presence commanding respect from those around him. The boys appear eager to learn from him, their youthful curiosity shining through their eyes. Meanwhile, the young girl stands beside them all, her innocence juxtaposed against this sacred setting. Through this photograph captured in 1932 by an unknown photographer in Irbil (Arbela), we are transported to a time long gone but still resonating with echoes of ancient beliefs and rituals. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with spirituality and our constant search for meaning within ourselves and our surroundings. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded that history has shaped who we are today while also igniting our imagination about what lies ahead.
