EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of an Egyptian bas-relief, housed in the prestigious Archaeological Museum in Florence. The artwork depicts the revered cow Hathor nurturing the Pharaoh Haremhab, offering a glimpse into ancient Egyptian mythology and history. Dating back to the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt's New Kingdom (1319-1292 BC), this bas-relief is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Africa's ancient civilization. The photograph itself was taken between 1920 and 1930 by Brogi Giacomo from Stabilimento fotografico Alinari. The image invites us to explore various intriguing aspects. Firstly, it highlights nursing as one of the essential functions for both animals and humans alike. It also sheds light on how ancient populations perceived physiological and psychological connections between individuals through their art. Moreover, this piece provides valuable insights into Pharaonic rule and its symbolic associations with divine figures like Hathor. As we delve deeper into Egyptian mythology, we discover that Hathor represented fertility, motherhood, love, joy, music, dance - embodying numerous facets of life itself. By capturing this fragmentary masterpiece through his lens, Giacomo immortalizes not only an extraordinary work of art but also offers us a window into Egypt's fascinating past. This photograph serves as a reminder that history is not confined to textbooks; it lives within these relics that continue to inspire awe even after centuries have passed. As we admire this remarkable artifact at the Archaeological Museum in Florence today or gaze upon its photographic representation here before us now, let us appreciate its significance in unraveling our understanding of ancient civilizations and their enduring legacies.
