EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Statue of Sesostris III, a depiction of the young Egyptian pharaoh from the Middle Kingdom era. Carved out of diorite, this masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 119.5 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The statue's exquisite craftsmanship captures the essence of Sesostris III as a powerful and regal figure. Clothed in a loincloth and adorned with a nemes headdress, he sits majestically on his throne, emanating authority and strength. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from the intricate facial features to the finely sculpted muscles. Discovered in Medamud in 1927, this ancient artifact has survived through centuries, allowing us to marvel at its beauty today. It serves as a testament to Egypt's rich history and artistic legacy. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era when kings ruled over vast empires. The statue symbolizes not only Sesostris III himself but also represents the grandeur and power associated with ancient Egyptian royalty. Through this photograph print, we can appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such masterpieces as well as gain insight into one of Egypt's most influential rulers during his youth.
