EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art, depicting Thot, the god of the moon, in an extraordinary form. Created between 1085-935 BC during the Egyptian 21st Dynasty, this painted wood artwork portrays Thot as a man with the head of an ibis. The attention to detail is striking; every stroke and color choice brings this mythological character to life. This particular depiction of Thot was found on the anthropoid sarcophagus of the scribe Butehamon and now resides in the Egyptian Museum in Turin, Italy. Thot's significance in Egyptian mythology cannot be understated. As the god of wisdom, writing, and knowledge, he played a vital role in their culture. The inclusion of hieroglyphs and intricate patterns further emphasizes his association with writing and communication. The artist behind this masterpiece is Luisa Ricciarini who skillfully captures both Thot's divine essence and human-like qualities through her brushwork. Her talent transports us back to ancient Egypt where gods were worshipped fervently and their stories immortalized through art. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of Egypt's rich history but also its enduring legacy that continues to captivate our imagination.
