EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking landscape of Hissarlik (Troy), a site steeped in history and mystery. The view towards the Plateau of Ilium Novum is nothing short of mesmerizing, with rolling hills and fertile farmland stretching as far as the eye can see.
Heinrich Schliemann's groundbreaking excavations at Hissarlik unearthed remains that he boldly claimed to be the foundations of Homers Troy, forever changing our understanding of this ancient city. The shepherd tending to his goats against this backdrop adds a sense of timelessness to the scene, reminding us that life has continued to thrive on this land for centuries.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to 1874 when Schliemann first set foot on these hallowed grounds in Turkey. The sheer magnitude of what he discovered here is palpable - each stone and artifact telling a story from a bygone era.
The juxtaposition of modern-day agriculture with such rich archaeological history is truly awe-inspiring. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations long gone, urging us to delve deeper into the mysteries that lie beneath the surface.
