EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing mural painting from the palace of Dur-Sharrukin, an ancient Assyrian city built by King Sargon II in the 8th century B. C. The photograph, taken in 1928, transports us back to a time when this magnificent artwork adorned the walls of the castle. The mural itself is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Assyria. Its intricate patterns and vibrant colors captivate our imagination as we marvel at its beauty. This piece was captured by an unknown creator who skillfully preserved this snapshot of history for future generations to appreciate. Located near present-day Chorsabad, Iraq, Dur-Sharrukin served as a fortress for King Sargon II and his people. The archaeological site has provided valuable insights into Mesopotamian culture and civilization. The image comes from "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" compiled by Helmuth Bossert with explanatory text. It was published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , Berlin in 1928. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported deep into Assyria's past—a world filled with grand palaces, exquisite artistry, and powerful rulers.
