EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene from ancient history. King Nimrud, also known as Nimrod or Nemrod, the founder and ruler of the first empire established after the great flood, stands tall overseeing the construction of the legendary city of Babel, famously known as Babylon. The intricate details in this artwork showcase a mesmerizing glimpse into the construction site of the Tower of Babel. Taken from a manuscript page titled "Chronicle dit de la Bouquechardiere par Jean de Courcy (1350-1431)" (ms. 312 fol. 181v), this miniature painting was created by an artist known as Maitre de l'Echevinage de Rouen during the 15th century. It is currently housed in Musee Conde located in Chantilly, France. The image portrays King Nimrud's authoritative presence as he overlooks his ambitious project with determination and pride. The tower itself looms large in its unfinished state, symbolizing mankind's audacious attempt to reach heaven and challenge divine power. This artwork not only offers a visual representation but also serves as a historical testament to one of humanity's most enduring tales - that of Babylon and its monumental tower. Through this photograph print by Luisa Ricciarini from Fine Art Finder, viewers are transported back in time to witness an iconic moment that continues to captivate our imagination today.
