EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable marble sculpture of the Head of Ptolemy XII Auletes, a prominent figure from ancient Egypt. Created during the 1st century BC by an Egyptian artist, this exquisite artwork can be found in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Ptolemy XII Auletes was not only a king but also known as a skilled flute player. His reign as King of Egypt spanned two periods, from 80 to 58 BC and again from 55 to 51 BC. This sculpture beautifully captures his regal presence and masculine features. The intricate details on this sculpted head are awe-inspiring. The artist's mastery is evident in every curve and line that brings Ptolemy XII Auletes' face to life. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to witness the majesty of ancient Egypt. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this piece serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Africa and its connection with ancient civilizations. It reminds us of the power and influence held by pharaohs like Ptolemy XII Auletes during their reigns. Frank Buffetrille has masterfully captured this iconic artwork through his lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. Through his photography, he allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship of antiquity and our shared human history.
