Assyrian Art
Year of lecture: 1956
Abstract:
"This morning I shall deal with the last phase of Mesopotamian art that will concern us, namely, Assyrian art. It covers a period from about 1350 B.C. down to 612 B.C. Assyrian art may be taken therefore to be roughly contemporaneous with the first two important phases of Greek art, that is the Geometric and the Orientalising phases. But the spiritual temper of Assyrian art was, remarkably different from that of Greek art."
