EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from "The Myths of Ancient Egypt" by Lewis Spence, published in 1917. The artwork, created as a color lithograph by Evelyn Paul (1870-1945), depicts the iconic scene of Isis and the baby Prince. Isis, revered as the epitome of motherhood and devotion, is portrayed here with utmost grace and tenderness. In this mythological tale, Queen Astarte entrusts her son's care to Isis, who cleverly disguises herself as a beautiful stranger. As she cradles the infant prince in her arms, one can sense her unwavering love and protection. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail - from the flowing robes adorning Isis to the delicate features of the baby prince. The backdrop reveals handmaidens surrounding them under a majestic tamarisk tree - symbolizing fertility and rebirth in ancient Egyptian mythology. This mesmerizing print transports us back to ancient Egypt, immersing us in its rich legends and timeless tales. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power that myths hold over our imaginations throughout history. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this piece exemplifies Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving exceptional works of art for future generations to appreciate.
