EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Bust of Egyptian goddess Isis and bull deity Apis, carved from black marble with delicate white marks. The sculpture was discovered in the Canopus of Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli, showcasing the rich history and artistry of ancient Egypt.
The image is a copperplate engraving from Pietro Paolo Montagnani-Mirabilii's Il Museo Capitolino (The Capitoline Museum) in Rome, dating back to 1820. The contrast between the dark marble and light markings creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the skillful craftsmanship of the artist who created this masterpiece.
The presence of both Isis and Apis in one sculpture symbolizes the fusion of Egyptian mythology and religious beliefs. Isis was revered as a powerful goddess associated with magic, motherhood, and fertility, while Apis was worshipped as a sacred bull deity representing strength and virility.
Located within Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli, this artwork serves as a reminder of the cultural exchange between ancient civilizations and showcases the enduring legacy of Egyptian artistry. The detailed engravings capture every curve and contour of these mythical figures, inviting viewers to marvel at their beauty for centuries to come.
