EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Georges Perrot and Charles Chipiez takes us back in time to the ancient city of Khorsabad, where the magnificent Palace of Sargon once stood. The print showcases the meticulous reconstruction of the south-east gate, a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Assyrian civilization. The image transports us to an era long gone, as we marvel at the grandeur and intricacy of this fortress. The imposing fortified walls surround the palace, creating a sense of security and power that was characteristic of Mesopotamian civilizations. The attention to detail in this etching is remarkable; every arch and building exterior is meticulously depicted, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon this horizontal composition, we can almost imagine ourselves standing at this very gate centuries ago. It's fascinating how art has preserved fragments from our past like these. This 1882 edition provides a glimpse into history through Perrot and Chipiez's skillful interpretation. Their work not only captures architectural wonders but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with antiquity. This print serves as a window into an ancient world – one filled with awe-inspiring structures that have stood against time itself. It reminds us that even though civilizations rise and fall, their legacies continue to inspire generations far beyond their existence.
