EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the North frieze of the Altar of Zeus from Pergamon, dating back to c180-c159 BC. The exquisite stone sculpture, on display at the prestigious Pergamon Museum in Berlin, is a true testament to the artistic brilliance and craftsmanship of ancient times. The intricate relief carving depicts a grand procession, capturing a moment frozen in time. Each figure is meticulously rendered with remarkable attention to detail, showcasing their flowing garments and expressive faces. The vibrant colors that once adorned this masterpiece have faded over centuries but still manage to evoke a sense of awe and wonder. This extraordinary artwork not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also offers valuable insights into Assyrian culture and literature. It stands as a visual representation of historical events or mythical tales that were significant during that era. Looking closely at this photograph feels like reading an ancient comic strip, where every scene unfolds with grace and beauty. It transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at the artistic achievements of our ancestors while appreciating their storytelling abilities through art. As we admire this relic from Turkey's rich heritage – specifically Bergama (Pergamon) – we are reminded once again how art has transcended time and continues to connect us with our past civilizations.
