EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a statue in basinite, depicting the legendary Ramses II. Housed within the renowned Egyptian Museum in Turin, this artifact from the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt's New Kingdom era is an exquisite example of ancient Egyptian art. The photograph was captured between 1915 and 1920 by Alinari, Fratelli, offering us a glimpse into the past and allowing us to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece over three millennia ago. The artwork itself dates back to 1279-1213 BC, highlighting its historical significance. Every element in this image tells a story - from the meticulously inscribed hieroglyphics that convey messages and communication to the elaborate headdress adorning Ramses II's head. This headdress represents his various roles as a civilian, military leader, and religious figurehead. As we delve deeper into this visual treasure trove, we notice additional details such as accessories reflecting fashion trends of that time period. The pharaoh's regal attire exudes power and authority while also incorporating elements of mythology. Ramses II himself is portrayed with remarkable precision; his portrait captures not only his physical features but also conveys his status through symbols like crowns, insignias, and emblems associated with royalty. Through these artistic choices, we gain insights into both society and politics during Egypt's New Kingdom era. This photograph transports us back to ancient Africa where magnificent civilizations thrived. It serves as a reminder of our rich human history and invites contemplation on how these ancient cultures have shaped our present-day world.
