EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief from ancient Egypt, depicting the Aten, the sun disk deity, bestowing life and prosperity upon Amenophis IV (Akhenaten), his wife Nefertiti, and three of their daughters. Created during the New Kingdom period around 1352-1336 BC in Tell el-Amarna, this limestone masterpiece is now housed in the Agyptisches Museum in Berlin. The image exudes an aura of love and affection within the royal family. Akhenaten stands tall with a profile that reflects his solar lineage as pharaoh. Beside him stands Nefertiti, her tender gaze fixed upon her husband. The three daughters are also present; Meritaton, Meketaten, and Ankhesenamun radiate youthful innocence under the divine rays of the Aten. What makes this artwork particularly significant is its representation of monotheism during a time when polytheism was prevalent in Egyptian culture. Akhenaten's devotion to worshipping only one god marked him as a religious heretic among his people. Through intricate hieroglyphics adorning this relief, we witness not just a king but also a husband and father surrounded by his loved ones. This group portrait captures both familial unity and reverence for their unique beliefs. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece from ancient times captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can't help but marvel at how it continues to inspire awe even after thousands of
