EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A City taken by assault - Prisoners driven away" transports us back in time to the ancient city of Nineveh. Published in 1849, this engraving by Austen Henry Layard offers a glimpse into the dramatic scene of a city under siege. The image depicts a chaotic battle scene with soldiers scaling the towering city walls using ladders. Arrows fill the air as warriors armed with shields and spears engage in fierce combat. The intensity is palpable as men fight valiantly to conquer their adversaries. In the foreground, we see prisoners being forcefully driven away from their once mighty home. Among them are women and men, their faces etched with despair and defeat. This poignant moment captures the aftermath of an assault on Nineveh, highlighting both the triumphs and tragedies that come with war. Layard's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life, showcasing his talent as an artist and storyteller. Through this print, we gain insight into Assyrian culture and witness firsthand the power dynamics at play during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, it serves as a reminder of humanity's complex relationship with warfare throughout history – its devastating consequences for some while symbolizing victory for others.
