EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Relief from The Temple of Dendur, a remarkable piece of art dating back to around 10 BC. Crafted from aeolian sandstone, this ancient Egyptian masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The relief depicts an intriguing scene where the Roman emperor Augustus assumes the role of a pharaoh, offering milk to three prominent Egyptian gods: Osiris, Isis, and Harpocrates. The intricate carvings and symbols on the artwork include hieroglyphs that add depth and meaning to this historical portrayal. As we delve into this image, we are transported to Egypt's Nubia region, specifically Dendur on the west bank of the Nile River. This temple was built during Caesar Augustus' reign and stands as a testament to his imperial power. Noteworthy details such as lotus blossoms, wine offerings, and incense further enrich our understanding of ancient Egyptian rituals depicted in this relief. The presence of Hathor with her sun disk crown and ankh symbolizes life and fertility while Horus protects against evil forces. Through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing every intricate detail with precision, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery involved in creating such a relief as well as gain insight into ancient religious practices within Roman Egypt.
