EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Statue of Queen Makare Hatshepsut, a prominent figure in ancient Egyptian history. Crafted during the New Kingdom period around 1490-70 BC, this magnificent granite sculpture is believed to have originated from the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri. In this remarkable depiction, Queen Makare Hatshepsut stands tall and regal, holding two vases brimming with offerings. One vase contains wine while the other holds milk - symbolic gifts presented to deities as acts of devotion and reverence. The queen's elegant posture exudes grace and power, accentuated by her false beard and nemes headdress traditionally worn by pharaohs. Hatshepsut was an extraordinary ruler who defied societal norms by assuming the role of pharaoh, typically reserved for men. Her reign marked a significant era in Egypt's history characterized by prosperity and cultural advancements. Preserved within the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, this artwork serves as a testament to Hatshepsut's enduring legacy. Its intricate details and expert craftsmanship offer us a glimpse into the rich tapestry of ancient Egyptian civilization. As we admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images, let us marvel at the ingenuity and artistic prowess that has allowed us to connect with our distant past. It reminds us that even after thousands of years, these relics continue to inspire wonderment and fascination among art enthusiasts worldwide.
