EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of grandeur and power in ancient Persia. Depicting a royal boar hunt, it is believed to showcase the legendary Khosrow II, skillfully shooting an arrow from a boat. Created by the talented Sasanian School during the 7th century, this relief adorns the side of the aivans at Taq-e Bostan in Iran. The scene unfolds with remarkable detail as Khosrow II stands tall on his vessel, poised with his bow ready to strike. The majestic elephants stand nearby, adding an air of majesty and strength to this regal spectacle. The Persian hunter's focus is unwavering as he takes aim at his prey, showcasing both his prowess as a warrior and his love for hunting. The bas-relief's intricate craftsmanship brings every element to life - from the flowing robes worn by Khosrow II to the powerful stance of the elephants. This masterpiece not only celebrates Persian culture but also highlights their admiration for nature and their exceptional skills in warfare. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an awe-inspiring moment that epitomizes bravery and elegance.
