EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "Entrance of Cyrus into Babylon" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Illustrated by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, this print depicts the awe-inspiring scene from Hutchinson's History of the Nations. In 538 BCE, the mighty Neo-Babylonian Empire succumbed to the remarkable military prowess of Cyrus the Great, King of Persia. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to ancient Mesopotamia and witness the conquering Persian army marching triumphantly through the sacred way of Babylon. The Ishtar Gate stands tall and majestic in all its splendor as a symbol of Babylonia's rich history. This engraving captures not only a historical event but also evokes a sense of grandeur and power. It reminds us that even empires as formidable as Babylon can be conquered by determined forces. The invasion led by Cyrus was an unprecedented military maneuver that forever altered the course of Mesopotamian history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece within their private collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance today. As we delve into this image, let it serve as a reminder that throughout time, great civilizations rise and fall – leaving behind legacies etched in stone for future generations to marvel at.
