EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating story of the cure of a Hittite princess who was possessed by a devil. The image is taken from Hutchinsons History of the Nations, published in 1915, and depicts an illustration by Allan Stewart. According to ancient Egyptian history, Bentresh, a Hittite princess, fell gravely ill due to demonic possession. In her desperate state, her brother-in-law Ramesses II sought help from his god Khonsu. To aid in her recovery, Ramesses II sent a statue of Khonsu to Khatti (the land of the Hittites). This act was believed to have miraculous healing powers that could expel the evil spirit tormenting Bentresh. The artwork beautifully captures this historical event with intricate details and vibrant colors. It transports us back in time to witness this extraordinary moment when two civilizations united for the sake of one person's well-being. The image not only highlights the significance of religion and spirituality in ancient cultures but also sheds light on how different peoples interacted and exchanged beliefs during that era. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction brings life to this historical narrative, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic value and its rich cultural context. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people were willing to go great lengths for their loved ones' health and happiness.
