Persepolis

"Persepolis" by Michael Parkes

Limited Edition Stone Lithograph Step into an ancient world of mystery and majesty with Michael Parkes’ Persepolis, an exquisite stone lithograph that captures the essence of regal power, serenity, and timeless beauty. Inspired by the grandeur of the ancient Persian empire, this masterpiece evokes a sense of quiet strength, as if history itself is watching from the heights of a forgotten city. A noble figure, draped in deep indigo robes, sits poised atop a grand marble terrace, gazing into the distance with an air of quiet contemplation. Her feline features lend an air of mysticism, blurring the line between human and animal, wisdom and instinct. At her side, two cheetahs—symbols of agility, elegance, and vigilance—stand as both protectors and kindred spirits, their sleek forms mirroring her own regal stillness. Below them, opulent fabrics cascade over the stone ledge, hinting at a civilization rich with culture, knowledge, and tradition. With its delicate hues, precise detailing, and Parkes’ signature dreamlike composition, Persepolis transports the viewer to a world where past and present merge, where power is tempered by grace, and where the silence of an empire speaks volumes. A must-have for collectors who appreciate art that tells a story, this lithograph will bring an aura of mystery, sophistication, and quiet strength to any collection.
