EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a seated statue of the god Amon protecting Tutankhamun, dating back to the New Kingdom era in ancient Egypt. Created by the skilled artisans of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, this magnificent granite sculpture stands at an impressive height of 220 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre museum in Paris, France. The statue depicts Amon, a prominent deity in Egyptian mythology, seated on a throne with his arms crossed protectively over young King Tutankhamun. The pharaoh's head was tragically destroyed during the Amarnian revolution by those who opposed it, leaving behind a powerful symbol of defiance against religious change. Despite this act of vandalism, the statue still exudes an air of majesty and power. Amon is depicted wearing a plumed headdress and sporting a regal beard while gazing down upon Tutankhamun with benevolence and protection. This image serves as a reminder not only of ancient Egyptian beliefs but also highlights their exceptional artistic skill and attention to detail. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, viewers are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand one aspect of Egypt's rich cultural heritage. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding ancient civilizations and as an awe-inspiring piece that continues to captivate audiences today.
