EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures a scene of lion hunting in old Assyria, showcasing the skill and bravery of ancient hunters. The detailed illustration by Charles Robert Knight brings to life a moment from history, depicting a king leading the charge on horseback with his bow and arrow ready for action.
The powerful image highlights the dangerous yet exhilarating sport of hunting lions in ancient times, where chariots were used as vehicles for pursuit. The intensity of the hunt is palpable as the ferocious lion is targeted by skilled archers riding alongside their majestic horses.
The artwork not only showcases the physical prowess of these ancient Assyrian hunters but also provides a glimpse into their cultural practices and traditions. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of this civilization, offering viewers a window into a time long past.
As we admire this piece from Knight's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the thrill and danger that accompanied such blood sports in ancient Assyria. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document, preserving moments from our collective past for generations to come.
