EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Persian art from the 5th century BC. The sculpture, created by the Persian School, depicts two androcephalous sphinxes (or lions) positioned under Ahura Mazda, the deity of Zoroastrianism. Originating from Susa, Iran, this intricately carved artwork now resides in the Louvre museum in Paris, France. The image captures the exquisite details of this ancient masterpiece. The wooden carving features bas reliefs that bring to life these mythical creatures with their human heads and powerful lion bodies. Standing against a fender wall adorned with other animals and monsters from legend, they exude an aura of mystery and power. This artifact is not only a testament to the artistic skill of its creators but also provides insight into Persian culture during that era. It reflects elements of Iranian Iran's rich heritage as well as influences from Arab civilization in the Middle East. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historical relic. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and highlights how art can transcend time and place to connect us with civilizations long gone. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail for us to admire and appreciate for years to come through this stunning print available on Fine Art Finder.
