EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable stela from the New Kingdom era of ancient Egypt. The stela depicts the legendary pharaoh Ramesses II, also known as Ramses, engaging in a profound act of devotion to his own effigy. Crafted from limestone and dating back to the 19th Dynasty (c. 1292-1187 BC), this exquisite piece is housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this scene frozen in time, Ramesses II can be seen offering incense to his own likeness with great reverence and piety. This gesture symbolizes not only his divine status as a king but also his deep connection with the spiritual realm. The intricate hieroglyphics adorning the stela further enhance its significance by providing insights into ancient Egyptian beliefs and rituals. The artistry displayed on this stela is truly awe-inspiring; every detail meticulously carved reflects the skilled craftsmanship of its creators. From Ramesses' regal attire to his serene expression, each element contributes to an aura of power and majesty that was characteristic of pharaohs during their reign. As we gaze upon this magnificent artifact through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to an era steeped in grandeur and mystique. It serves as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage and reminds us of our eternal fascination with these enigmatic rulers who once walked among gods.
