EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Nastasic, we witness a pivotal moment in history as Cambyses II, the powerful ruler of the Achaemenid Persians, conquers Egypt. However, his actions cause great offense and controversy when he slays the sacred Apis bull of Memphis. The image captures both the awe-inspiring power of Cambyses II and the deep spirituality associated with ancient Egyptian culture. The vertical composition emphasizes his dominance and determination to conquer adversity. As we delve into this historical event, it becomes evident that Cambyses II's conquests were not without consequences. His decision to kill the revered Apis bull strikes at the heart of Egyptian religious beliefs and traditions. This act serves as a testament to his military invasion but also highlights cultural clashes between different civilizations. Nastasic's illustration technique beautifully brings this engraving to life, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this significant moment from Persian history. The archival quality ensures that this piece will continue to be cherished for generations as a reminder of our complex past. This print transports us back in time, inviting contemplation on themes such as power dynamics, spirituality, and cultural exchange between nations.
