"C07th: A Journey Through Time and Artistic Expression" Step into the world of c07th, where art transcends time and cultures. From ancient civilizations to medieval Europe, this captivating collection showcases a diverse range of artistic masterpieces. In Baouit's icon depicting Abbott Mena with Christ, we witness the fusion of religious devotion and skillful craftsmanship. The delicate tempera on panel brings to life the spiritual connection between man and divinity. Traveling back even further in time, we encounter a lekythos from 700-480 BC. This ceramic masterpiece portrays Hercules battling the formidable Lernaean Hydra, showcasing both strength and heroism in Greek mythology. Continuing our journey across continents, we stumble upon an exquisite sandstone sculpture of Buddha from Angkot Borei. Carved during the 6th-7th century, this head captures serenity and enlightenment through its intricate details. Ganesh emerges next from Tuol Pheak Kin in Kandal Province. Crafted from sandstone during the 7th-8th century, this deity exudes wisdom and prosperity while symbolizing new beginnings for those who seek his blessings. Transitioning to more recent history, an engraving illustrates The Martyrdom of Constantine of Samosata from James Aitken Wylie's "The History of Protestantism. " This depiction serves as a reminder that faith often comes at great personal cost. Delving into medieval times once again, Colart's engraving depicts Clotaire II at Queen Brunhilda's execution. It unveils a dark chapter in French history but also highlights power dynamics within royal courts during that era. A sepia photograph takes us back to early 20th-century England when King Ethelbert was laid to rest. H. D. M Spence-Jones' lithograph immortalizes this momentous event in "The Church of England: A History for the People.
