EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Ruins at Ani, Armenia" takes us back in time to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the rich history of this ancient city. The print showcases the remarkable architectural remnants that once stood proudly in Ani, now a hauntingly beautiful collection of ruins. The image transports us to a vast plain where the fortifications of Ani dominate the landscape. We can see the imposing double walls that encircle the city on its southern side, stretching towards the Akhourian River. The Great Gate and Gate of Kars stand as testaments to Ani's former grandeur and strategic importance. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to various places of worship scattered amidst these crumbling structures. The Cathedral Church with its principal altar stands tall on the north side, while St Saviours Church and other religious sites evoke a sense of reverence for their past significance. Ani was once home to Bahlavouni princes who ruled over this fortified fortress. Its ramparts tell tales of battles fought and victories won throughout centuries gone by. Today, these ruins serve as a poignant reminder of an illustrious past that has weathered both time and conflict. This print captures not only the physical remains but also invites contemplation about what life might have been like within these ancient walls. It is an invitation to connect with history and appreciate how civilizations rise and fall but leave behind enduring traces for generations yet unborn to marvel at.
