EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art, the "Plaque: Amenhotep II Offers Incense / Amun-Re Seated on Throne". Created during the New Kingdom period in Egypt's 18th Dynasty, this exquisite steatite carving dates back to approximately 1427-1400 BCE. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of this significant artifact. In the image, we see Amenhotep II, a powerful pharaoh of his time, offering incense to Amun-Re, one of Egypt's most revered deities. The god is depicted seated on an ornate throne, radiating authority and divinity. This plaque not only represents religious devotion but also symbolizes the close relationship between kingship and spirituality in ancient Egypt. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and line has been meticulously carved into stone with utmost precision. The use of turquoise color adds a touch of opulence to the composition while enhancing its visual appeal. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery space or art center, we are transported back thousands of years to witness an intimate moment between a pharaoh and his god. It serves as a testament to Africa's rich cultural heritage and reminds us of the profound influence that ancient Egyptian civilization had on art across continents.
