Although I've been rather negligent with my posts for the last two months, I will by no means stop trying :) I've discovered that often, I hesitate to post because I could not conduct the research for my artist posts with images in time. However, that should not stop me from posting other interesting tidbits of news. Hence, I've decided from now on to split up my different types of posts. Musings on artists will have their names as titles while posts on interesting sites will have "Site" as part of their titles.
On the last day of 2008, I attended the Art and Empire: Treasures from Assyria from the British Museum exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. I had just finished reading about Assyria in Gods, Graves, and Scholars not too long ago, so the exhibit was extremely timely. Although the famous Dying Lioness was not on view, the exhibit does showcase a marvelous series of reliefs depicting one of Ashurbanipal's lion hunts. The exhibit is definitely worth a visit, with a good range of objects from reliefs, seals, pottery, to little clay tablets.
