Assyrian art - Assyrian art

Japanese: アッシリア美術 - アッシリアびじゅつ（英語表記）Assyrian art

Of the three periods, the Early Period (c. 2000-1500 BC), the Middle Period (c. 1500-1000 BC), and the Late Period (c. 1000-612 BC), it was during the Late Period, also known as Neo-Assyrian art, that the characteristics of Assyrian art were established as the empire grew in power. Ruins of palace buildings made of sun-dried and baked bricks remain in Ashur, Nimrud, Khorsabad, and Nineveh. Following the Mesopotamian tradition, Assyria was characterized by its reliefs, which favored themes that demonstrate royal power and the military might of the empire, such as battles, hunting, and processions of tributes. Hunting scenes by King Ashurbanipal (c. 650 BC) feature sharp, realistic depictions. Reliefs made of glazed bricks are also unique to Assyria.

初期 (前 2000～1500頃) ，中期 (前 1500～1000頃) ，後期 (前 1000～612頃) のうち，アッシリア美術の特性が帝国の強大化に伴って確立されたのは，後期すなわち新アッシリア美術とも呼ばれる時期である。日干し煉瓦，焼成煉瓦を用いた王宮建築の遺跡が，アッシュール，ニムルド，コルサバド，ニネベの各地に残る。メソポタミアの伝統に従うアッシリアで特色が発揮されたのは浮彫で，戦闘，狩猟，朝貢者の列など，王権の誇示，帝国の武威を示す主題が好まれ，アッシュールバニパル王の狩猟図 (前 650頃) では，鋭い写実的描写を生む。彩釉煉瓦による浮彫もアッシリア独自のもの。
