EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette of a female nude, famously known as the great Babylonian goddess Ishtar. Crafted during the 3rd-2nd century BC, this exquisite piece is made of alabaster adorned with rubies and gold accents. Standing at a height of 24.8 cm, it currently resides in the Louvre museum in Paris, France. Ishtar, also referred to as Ashtart or Astarte, was an influential deity associated with fertility and the moon in ancient Mesopotamian culture. This Greco-Babylonian creation beautifully captures her essence through intricate details such as articulated arms and a crescent headdress adorning her head. The statuette's eyes are carefully crafted to convey depth and emotion while its overall composition exudes grace and elegance. The addition of ruby embellishments adds a touch of opulence to this mesmerizing sculpture. As we admire this artful representation of Ishtar, we are transported back in time to an era where gods and goddesses held immense significance in people's lives. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that thrived during Hellenistic and Parthian periods. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the symbolic power that art possesses throughout history.
