Feathers of Fury - When Birds Take Matters into Their Own Talons!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by David Tipling, we are transported back in time to the ancient walls of the North West Palace in Nimrud, Iraq. This scultured relief from the Assyrian capital reveals a gripping scene that is both awe-inspiring and slightly comical. As our eyes wander across the intricate details, we witness an intense attack on an enemy town. Amidst chaos and destruction, a vulture swoops down with its sharp beak ready to feast upon the fallen foe. Clearly, even birds have their own way of settling scores! Dating back to 865-860 BC, this remarkable piece showcases not only the artistic prowess of ancient civilizations but also their vivid imagination. Who knew that vultures played such a pivotal role in warfare? The juxtaposition between these majestic creatures and human figures adds an unexpected touch of humor to this historical masterpiece. It's as if nature itself has decided to lend a winged hand (or claw) in avenging those who dare challenge Assyria. So next time you find yourself caught up in some petty squabble or office politics, just remember - there might be a vulture out there waiting for its chance to settle scores! But until then, let's appreciate David Tipling's incredible talent for capturing moments that transcend time and remind us that even in ancient history, nature always finds its place among people. . . sometimes with feathers ruffled!
