The Chest of Set
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration from "The Book of Myths" created by the talented artist Evelyn Paul. This mesmerizing colour lithograph depicts an ancient Egyptian scene filled with intrigue and deceit. The central focus lies on a chest, symbolizing the treacherous act committed by Seth, the god of storms and chaos. In this mythological tale, Seth cunningly tricks his brother Osiris into climbing inside the chest before sealing it shut and casting him into the depths of the River Nile. The artist skillfully captures this moment of betrayal and fratricide, evoking a sense of tension and unease. Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, we witness their expressions ranging from envy to jealousy as they bear witness to Seth's dishonest act. The atmosphere is thick with conspiracy as secrets are unveiled in this ancient ceremony. Paul's attention to detail brings forth an authentic representation of ancient Egypt, showcasing elements such as male worshipers and an audience engaged in both awe and suspicion. Through her artistry, she transports us back to a time when sibling rivalry was rife with trickery and deceit. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even in centuries past, human emotions such as envy can lead individuals down dark paths. It stands not only as a testament to Paul's artistic prowess but also as an exploration into timeless themes that continue to resonate today.
