EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two remarkable bas-reliefs, each depicting a significant moment in the reign of Sasanian kings. On the left, we witness the investiture of Bahram I, who ruled from 273 to 274 AD. The intricate carving on stone beautifully captures this ceremonial event, symbolizing power and authority. Moving to the right, our attention is drawn to another bas-relief portraying Bahram II (r. 273-93) alongside his family. This second half of the 3rd century artwork offers a glimpse into the personal life of this Sassanian king. The detailed craftsmanship brings forth their regal presence and familial bond. Located at Naqsh-e Rostam in Iran, these ancient carvings are truly awe-inspiring. They serve as a testament to Iranian history and culture during that era. As we admire these masterpieces captured by Bridgeman Images, it becomes evident that they have withstood the test of time. The coronation scenes depicted here evoke a sense of grandeur and magnificence associated with Persian royalty. Horses play an essential role in both reliefs - symbols of strength and nobility intertwined with human destiny throughout history. This photograph invites us into an enchanting world where artistry meets historical significance. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since their creation, these bas-reliefs continue to captivate viewers with their timeless beauty and narrative power.
