EDITORS COMMENTS
The Assyrian Hercules: A Heroic Depiction of Banishing Evil from the Nineveh Court at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham This black and white print, titled 'The Assyrian Hercules casting out the Evil Spirit, the Nineveh Court, Crystal Palace, Sydenham,' dates back to the mid-19th century. The image, created by an unknown artist, was first published in Cassells Illustrated Family Paper between December 31, 1853, and December 30, 1854. The print depicts a powerful scene of the mythological hero Hercules, known for his strength and heroism, banishing an evil spirit from the Assyrian court. The relief sculpture, which was part of an exhibition at the Crystal Palace in Sydenham, England, showcases Hercules with an assertive posture, muscles bulging, and a determined expression. His mighty hand is outstretched, casting the malevolent spirit out of the scene. The background of the print is reminiscent of the ancient Assyrian court, with intricate details of ornate columns, elaborate carvings, and a sense of grandeur. The overall composition of the print exudes a sense of triumph and victory, as Hercules successfully banishes the evil spirit from the court. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the Victorian era's fascination with ancient civilizations, particularly the Assyrians. It serves as a testament to the artistic and cultural exchange that took place during this period, as well as the enduring appeal of heroic tales and mythology. The print, with its intricate details and powerful narrative, continues to captivate viewers and spark the imagination, making it a valuable addition to any art or history collection.
