EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive Bust of King Sargon of Akkad, a remarkable bronze sculpture dating back to approximately 2300 BC. The photograph, taken by Zev Radovan at the Louvre in Paris, France, beautifully captures the intricate details and regal aura emanating from this ancient artifact. The bust portrays King Sargon of Akkad, a prominent figure in Mesopotamian history known for his military conquests and establishment of one of the world's first empires. With its finely crafted features - from the meticulously carved head and face to the majestic beard - this statue exudes power and authority. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when monarchies reigned supreme in the Near East. The sculpture serves as a testament to Sargon's royal lineage and his significance as a leader during that period. Located within Nineveh, Iraq - part of what was once known as Akkad - this masterpiece offers us a glimpse into ancient Western Asia's rich cultural heritage. Its presence at the Louvre allows visitors from around the world to appreciate its historical importance and artistic brilliance. Through this photo print, Bridgeman Images invites us on a visual journey through time; it encourages us to explore not only King Sargon's legacy but also our shared human history.
