EDITORS COMMENTS
Darius I (548-486 BC), the Achaemenid king of Persia, is depicted in this 1881 chromolithograph print alongside his attendants. The artwork, based on a frieze found in the citadel at Susa, offers a glimpse into the royal court during Darius' reign. In the image, Darius stands tall and regal, adorned in richly colored robes that signify his status as monarch. His long beard adds to his dignified appearance while emphasizing his authority and wisdom. Surrounding him are loyal servants attending to various tasks, their presence highlighting the importance of hierarchy within Persian society. One attendant holds an umbrella or parasol above Darius' head, protecting him from the sun's rays and symbolizing his elevated position. Another carries a staff, signifying their role as trusted advisors and protectors of the king. This chromolithograph captures not only the physical attributes but also provides insight into ancient Persian culture and customs. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to an era long past. Created by an unknown artist and preserved through time by Heritage Images, this piece serves as a valuable historical artifact showcasing one of Persia's most influential rulers - Darius I.
