EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate detail of the Wedjat Eye, taken from the sarcophagus cover of the Lady of Madja during Egypt's New Kingdom period around 1450 BC. Crafted out of painted wood by artists from the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, this mystical symbol holds great significance in ancient Egyptian culture. The Wedjat Eye, also known as the Eye of Horus or Udjat Eye, is a hieroglyphic representation that embodies completeness and perfection. It was believed to possess supernatural powers and played a vital role in funerary rituals and tomb paintings. The eye symbolizes protection against evil forces and was associated with healing and rejuvenation. In this mesmerizing artwork captured by Peter Willi, every brushstroke brings life to this sacred emblem. The vibrant colors used in its depiction add an air of mysticism to the composition. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to an era filled with rich symbolism and spiritual beliefs. Now housed at Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Egypt's profound artistic legacy. Its presence on the sarcophagus cover signifies not only reverence for departed souls but also a deep connection between mortals and gods. Through Peter Willi's lens, we can appreciate both the beauty and cultural significance encapsulated within this painting. It invites us to explore ancient traditions while marveling at their timeless allure.
