EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Egyptian Isis and Horus, Harpocrates" takes us back to the 19th century when European artists were fascinated by ancient Egyptian mythology. The print showcases a scene of great significance in Egyptian culture - the goddess Isis with her son Horus, accompanied by the youthful deity Harpocrates. Isis, often depicted as a motherly figure and symbolizing fertility and magic, stands tall with an air of grace and power. She holds baby Horus close to her heart, representing protection and nurturing love. Meanwhile, Harpocrates sits beside them on a lotus flower throne, his finger pressed against his lips in a gesture of silence. The intricate details captured through this engraving bring forth the rich symbolism present in ancient Egyptian art. From the delicate lines etched into their garments to the serene expressions on their faces, every element tells a story of divinity and reverence. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for "A Dictionary of Classical Antiquities" by Dr Oskar Seyffert. It serves as both an educational tool for those seeking knowledge about classical antiquity and as a testament to the enduring allure of mythological figures throughout history. Now preserved within a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to delve into Egypt's mythical past while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship that went into its creation.
