EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, a carved stone with hunting scenes taken from Nimrud, now preserved in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris. The artwork itself belongs to the Mesopotamian/Babylonian/Assyrian Civilization and dates back to the 9th century BC. In this low relief bas-relief, we are transported back in time to witness an ancient hunting expedition. The scene is filled with action as hunters armed with lances and spears ride on horseback through a lush landscape teeming with terrestrial mammals. These skilled individuals exude strength and masculinity as they navigate their way through dense vegetation. The group portrait captures the essence of traditional fashion and clothing worn during that era. Each figure is meticulously depicted, showcasing intricate details of their attire. It's fascinating how fashion transcends time, giving us insight into the sartorial choices of our ancestors. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a snapshot from ancient Asia; it symbolizes an entire civilization's rich heritage. This work serves as a testament to the advanced artistic skills possessed by these early civilizations and offers us glimpses into their daily lives. Thanks to Alinari Fratelli's photography expertise during the 1920s or 1930s (exact date uncertain), we can appreciate this masterpiece even if we cannot physically visit the Louvre Museum ourselves. Through his lens, he has immortalized this extraordinary artifact for generations to come. Let this image transport you back in time and ignite your curiosity about our shared human history – an era when hunting was not only essential for survival but also celebrated as an art form within ancient societies like Mesopotamia/Babylonia/Assyria.
