EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Assyrian Warriors in battle" takes us back to ancient times, showcasing the fierce and formidable nature of these historical fighters. The image is an engraving from the Monuments of Nineveh, published in 1849 by Austen Henry Layard. In this scene, we witness a chaotic battlefield where Assyrian warriors engage in combat with unwavering determination. Mounted on horse-drawn chariots, they skillfully maneuver through the chaos while wielding their bows and arrows. Their archery skills are evident as they aim at their enemies with precision. The aftermath of the battle is also depicted here; fallen soldiers lie scattered across the ground, some dead and others wounded. Amidst this scene of violence and destruction, an eagle soars above symbolizing both power and freedom. The presence of horses adds another layer to this composition - majestic creatures that were essential companions for these warriors during war campaigns. Additionally, a bull can be seen nearby representing strength and resilience. This artwork not only showcases the bravery and military prowess of Assyrian warriors but also serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those who fought in ancient battles. It highlights both the brutality inherent in warfare as well as our enduring fascination with history's great conflicts.
