EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Zodiac ceiling from the Grand Temple at Denderah, a true masterpiece of ancient Egyptian art. Engraved by Allais in 1826 and hand-colored with exquisite precision, this image captures the intricate details of Jollois and Devilliers' original work. The celestial scene depicted on this ceiling is rich with symbolism and mystique. The temple of Hathor serves as the backdrop for an astrological spectacle, where each zodiac sign is meticulously represented through hieroglyphics and astrological figures. As we gaze upon this extraordinary engraving, we are transported back to a time when astrology held great significance in deciphering one's fate. Notably, amidst this celestial display lies an element that may surprise some viewers - nudity. The presence of nakedness within ancient Egyptian art was not uncommon; it symbolized purity and rebirth. Here, nude figures gracefully adorn the scene, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to an already enchanting composition. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into both the artistic prowess of its creators and the profound beliefs held by ancient Egyptians regarding astrology and spirituality. It invites us to marvel at their mastery over detailed engravings while pondering our own place within the vast cosmos. A truly captivating piece from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
