EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary piece of ancient art, an erotic fresco from Byban el Molouk in Thebes. Published between 1809 and 1822 by Edmonde Francois Jomard, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable artwork. The fresco depicts a scene that is both intriguing and provocative. It portrays fertility and the power of creation through its explicit imagery. In the center, we see a scarab, symbolizing the sun god Osiris, who was associated with rebirth and regeneration. Surrounding it are various figures engaged in intimate acts, representing the act of fertilization itself. This wall painting offers us a glimpse into the ancient Egyptian culture's beliefs and rituals surrounding sexuality and procreation. It serves as a testament to their understanding of human desires and their reverence for life-giving forces. Originally part of Napoleon's survey of Egypt during his expedition in the early 19th century, this frieze has found its way into private collections over time. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insights into one aspect of Egyptian civilization that often remains hidden or misunderstood. Through Bridgeman Images' meticulous reproduction process, this print brings forth every intricate detail with stunning clarity. It invites viewers to contemplate our shared humanity across centuries while marveling at the skillful craftsmanship displayed by these ancient artists.
