EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the Assyrian period, around 2200 B. C. , at the Arbela Erbil Center of Ishtar cult in present-day Iraq. Against a mesmerizing desert sunset, a group of men and boys stand together, their silhouettes blending with the fading light of twilight. The image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as we are transported to this ancient site where worshipers once gathered to pay homage to Ishtar, the goddess of love and war. The setting sun casts long shadows on the sand dunes, creating an ethereal atmosphere that seems frozen in time. As we observe these figures against nature's grand backdrop, one cannot help but wonder about their thoughts and aspirations. Were they priests or devotees? What rituals did they perform within these sacred grounds? The photograph invites us to contemplate our place within history and reflect upon how cultures evolve over millennia. Taken in 1932 by an unknown photographer, this rare glimpse into a distant past serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with spirituality and its connection to nature. It is through such visual treasures that we can appreciate both our shared heritage and the vastness of human experience across time.
