EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving by Giovanni Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the Palace of Persepolis in Syria. The Palace of Persepolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire, which ruled from 550 to 330 BC. The ruins of this ancient palace, located in modern-day Iran near the city of Naqsh-e Rostam, are a testament to the artistic and architectural achievements of this ancient civilization. The engraving showcases the intricate details of the doors, windows, and walls of the palace, which were once adorned with elaborate carvings and decorations. The doors, with their ornate handles and intricate designs, are a striking contrast to the rough, rocky terrain that surrounds the palace. The windows, with their delicate arches and latticework, allow light to filter in, creating an ethereal glow within the ruins. The walls, adorned with intricate carvings of kings and other figures, tell the story of the Achaemenid Empire and its rich history. The Palace of Persepolis is not just a historical site, but also a source of inspiration for artists, architects, and scholars around the world. The engraving by Sasso captures the essence of this magnificent palace, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and splendor. The ruins of the Palace of Persepolis continue to fascinate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of human creativity and ingenuity.
