EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning floor painting in a palace at Tell el-Amarna, Egypt, dating back to 1370 B. C. The intricate artwork depicts a mesmerizing scene of aquatic life and nature. A pool filled with fish takes center stage, while birds gracefully soar through the air above. Lush plants add vibrancy and depth to the composition. At the bottom of the painting, there is a row of men with bows, representing individuals of African and Middle Eastern descent. The photograph captures "Floor No. 2" located in a columned hall within the palace complex. To provide further context, grey circles on a reconstruction map indicate the position of palm columns that once adorned this magnificent space. The image was originally featured as Plate XI, figure 34 in "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century". This publication included explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert and was published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , Berlin in 1928. Although its creator remains unknown, this photograph offers us an invaluable glimpse into ancient Egyptian artistry and architectural design. Its rich colors and intricate patterns serve as testaments to their advanced civilization's mastery over decorative arts. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving this remarkable piece of history for future generations to appreciate and study.
