EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Isis, with her Sistrum, ancient Greek" takes us back to the classical era of ancient Greece. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a moment frozen in time from Thomas Hope's book "Costume of the Ancients". In this illustration, we see Isis, a prominent goddess in Egyptian mythology and later adopted into Greek culture. She stands gracefully with her sistrum held delicately in one hand. The sistrum was a musical instrument associated with religious rituals and often used by priestesses. The attention to detail is remarkable as every fold and draping of Isis' dress is meticulously depicted. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of that period - flowing garments adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments. This artwork not only captures the beauty of classical clothing but also serves as a window into ancient Greek culture. It reminds us of their fascination with different mythologies and how they incorporated elements from other civilizations into their own. As we admire this enchanting print, it transports us to another time where gods and goddesses were revered, fashion was an art form, and stories intertwined across cultures. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to connect us with history and ignite our imagination.
