EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art titled "The deceased and his mummy protected by Anubis". Created in the 3rd century, this encaustic wax on linen masterpiece is now housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The image depicts a scene from Egyptian mythology, where Anubis, the jackal-headed god and protector of the dead, stands guard over a deceased individual and their mummified body. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this ancient belief system to life. Anubis is portrayed with great reverence as he fulfills his role as guardian during the journey into the afterlife. His presence exudes strength and protection, providing solace to both the deceased and their loved ones. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of Egyptian beliefs surrounding death but also offers insight into their sophisticated artistic techniques. The use of encaustic wax on linen creates a unique texture that adds depth to every brushstroke. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era filled with mystique and wonder. It reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with mortality and our desire for divine protection even beyond death itself.
