EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving takes us on a journey back in time to ancient Egypt, showcasing the majestic Obelisks and Egyptians. The print, created by the German School in the 19th century, is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into history. The image features two remarkable obelisks that hold great significance. One was transported to Rome by Emperor Augustus, while the other was dedicated to the Sun God and brought to Rome by Constantine. These towering structures symbolize power, spirituality, and cultural exchange between civilizations. The scene depicted here also includes an obelisk from Nero's Circus, adding another layer of historical depth. This engraving beautifully captures these monumental structures against a backdrop of Roman architecture. Published in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) between 1790-1830, this artwork showcases how art can educate and inspire young minds about history and culture. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of human civilization and our continuous quest for knowledge across generations. It serves as a testament to our fascination with antiquity and our desire to preserve its legacy through art. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this piece from ePurix Verlag Volker Christen without any copyright restrictions. Let us cherish such prints that connect us with our past while igniting curiosity for future exploration.
