EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statuette representing the divine bond between Isis and Horus, discovered in a Greek necropolis during the Saite period. Crafted from bronze in 7th-6th Century B. C. , this ancient artifact hails from Italy's Sicily, now housed at the Museo Civico Antonio Cordici. The intricate carving and attention to detail exemplify the skill of its creator. In this studio shot against a serene blue background, we witness the tender moment of motherhood as Isis lovingly suckles her son Horus. Symbolizing fertility, protection, and rebirth, this sculpture holds great spiritual significance in ancient Egyptian art. The vertical composition emphasizes their sacred connection while highlighting the beauty of female likeness portrayed through Isis' graceful figure. As an archaeological treasure dating back to Egypt's twenty-sixth dynasty, it offers us a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of that era. With no people present in the frame, our focus is solely on this extraordinary representation of an Egyptian god and goddess. This single object transports us back to a time when deities were revered and worshipped by civilizations long gone. As we contemplate this awe-inspiring piece of antiquity, we are reminded once again of humanity's enduring fascination with artistry and craftsmanship throughout different epochs.
