The Defunct Greeted by the Devinite Maat
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the intricate artistry of ancient Egyptian culture. Dating back to 990-970 BC, this painted wood piece from the 21st Dynasty depicts a scene from the afterlife. In this detail of the sarcophagus belonging to scribe Butehamon, we see the defunct being welcomed by the divine figure of Maat. Maat, known as the goddess of truth and justice, plays a crucial role in guiding souls through their journey into eternity. The vibrant colors and meticulous hieroglyphs adorning this artwork bring life to its mythological characters. The significance of death and resurrection in ancient Egypt is evident in every brushstroke. This painting not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into their beliefs surrounding life after death. It offers us a glimpse into how Egyptians perceived mortality and sought solace in their rich mythology. Preserved within Turin's Egyptian Museum, this artifact stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with immortality. Through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back thousands of years to witness an intimate moment between gods and mortals—a reminder that even in death, there is beauty and hope for eternal existence.
