EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic and powerful Goddess Sekhmet, a seated black granite statue from the Temple of Mut at Karnak, Egypt. Dating back to the reign of Amenhotep III, the ninth pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, this remarkable artwork is one of many commissioned by him. Sekhmet was revered by ancient Egyptians as a fearsome deity who brought destruction upon enemies of Re, the sun-god. With her leonine features and commanding presence, she symbolized strength and protection. This statue captures her essence perfectly, with intricate details highlighting her ferocious yet regal nature. The significance of this piece lies not only in its historical context but also in its artistic mastery. The craftsmanship involved in sculpting such a lifelike representation is truly awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to ancient times when gods and goddesses held great sway over human affairs. Now housed within the Vatican Museum, this precious artifact serves as a testament to both Egyptian mythology and religious beliefs during Amenhotep III's reign. It stands as an enduring reminder of humanity's fascination with divine beings throughout history. Science Photo Library has expertly captured every nuance and detail in their photo print, allowing us to appreciate Sekhmet's grandeur from afar.
