EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in naval history - the transport of wood from Lebanon along the Phoenician coast. The artwork, a bas-relief dating back to the 8th century BC, showcases a Phoenician vessel with a single row of rowers. This Neo-Assyrian period representation is housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The image portrays an intricate scene filled with maritime trade and laborious efforts. A massive tree trunk rests on the ship, symbolizing the valuable cargo being transported for construction purposes. As we delve into this ancient world, we witness not only human activity but also wildlife playing their part; turtles swim alongside the vessel, adding an element of natural beauty to this bustling scene. This artwork provides us with insights into international relations during that time as it highlights Lebanon's involvement in maritime trade and its connections with Mesopotamia. It serves as a testament to Phoenician craftsmanship and their mastery of seafaring techniques. Through Giancarlo Costa's lens, this print allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic brilliance. It reminds us of our shared past and how civilizations have relied on transportation networks for economic growth and cultural exchange throughout centuries.
