EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning copperplate engraving captures the intricate details of a statue of an Egyptian priest of the god Averruncus, carved from red oriental granite and discovered in the Gardens of Sallust. The priest is depicted in a moment of reverence, his hands clasped together as he pays homage to this ancient deity.
The artist, G. Bossi, has masterfully recreated every nuance of the original illustration by A. Tofanelli from Pietro Paolo Montagnani-Mirabilii's Il Museo Capitolino (The Capitoline Museum) in Rome. The texture and color of the granite are so lifelike that it feels as though you could reach out and touch it.
As you gaze upon this print, you can't help but be transported back in time to ancient Egypt, where priests like this one would have played a crucial role in religious ceremonies and rituals. The attention to detail in both the carving itself and its reproduction on paper is truly remarkable.
Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply appreciate history, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and inspire awe for the craftsmanship of those who came before us. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to fascinate us centuries later.
