EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Figure of Bubaste or Isis," was created by English artist W Walton and published in 1829. The image depicts a revered ancient Egyptian goddess, either Bubaste or Isis, who was worshipped as the protector of women and children, as well as the goddess of fertility and magic. The goddess is shown in profile, wearing the distinctive crown of Hathor, adorned with cow horns and a solar disk, and holding a scepter and ankh, symbols of power and life. This exquisite lithograph is a testament to the enduring fascination with the ancient Egyptian civilization that swept through Europe during the 19th century. The intricate details and delicate shading in this print showcase the skill and artistry of the lithographic process, which was still a relatively new medium at the time. John Flaxman II, a renowned English artist and engraver, likely played a role in the production of this print, as he was known for his collaborations with W Walton. The print bears the title "Figure of Bubaste or Isis," as well as the name of the publisher, "W. & A. P. Bond," and the location of the print's creation, "London." This historic print is now part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The image of the goddess Bubaste or Isis serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and the enduring influence of its art and religion on Western civilization.
