EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate carving of a lion and bull on the tripylon staircase in Persepolis, Iran. The Achaemenian capital, founded by Darius I in 518 BC, stands as a testament to an ancient civilization that thrived in this region. Bathed in warm sunshine under a cloudless blue sky, the exterior of this historical landmark showcases its rich heritage and attracts tourists from around the world. The close-up shot reveals the remarkable stone work and attention to detail put into crafting these magnificent sculptures. The lion symbolizes power and strength while the bull represents fertility and abundance - both significant motifs deeply rooted in Iranian tradition. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can almost feel transported back in time to witness moments of hunting and consuming within Persian culture. The brown hues of the stone blend harmoniously with the clear morning light, creating a captivating color image that highlights every intricacy. Persepolis is not just an archaeological site but also a living testament to Iran's cultural history. Its architectural marvels continue to inspire awe even today. This print serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient civilizations and invites us to explore their stories further through travel and exploration. Photographed by Chris Rennie/Robert Harding, this image beautifully captures the essence of Persepolis' timeless beauty for all admirers of history, archaeology, or simply those seeking inspiration from our past.
