EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the short side of the pink granite tub that holds the sacred sarcophagus of Pharaoh Ramses III. Preserved within the renowned Louvre Museum in Paris, this remarkable artwork dates back to approximately 1160 BC during Egypt's New Kingdom era. The focal point of this intricate relief is none other than the winged goddess Isis, depicted with utmost grace and beauty. Her divine presence emanates from every inch of this masterpiece, as she stands tall and powerful amidst an array of symbolic elements. Adorned with an exquisite diadem on her head and wearing fashionable clothing fit for a deity, Isis captivates viewers with her majestic aura. Intriguing inscriptions adorn this ancient artifact, serving as instruments for communication between mortals and gods. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; even each strand of hair on Isis' wig appears meticulously crafted by skilled hands centuries ago. As we delve into Egyptian mythology through this photograph, we are transported to a time when animal divinities were revered alongside human-like deities. Anubis, represented by his iconic jackal form, symbolizes death and embarks upon his role as guardian throughout eternity. Alinari Fratelli's expert photography captures not only the artistic brilliance but also preserves a piece of Africa's ancient civilization for generations to come. This visual treasure allows us to marvel at the rich heritage left behind by our ancestors while offering insights into their beliefs and customs. Let us cherish these glimpses into history held within museum walls like Louvre Museum in Paris—a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with artistry that transcends time itself.
