EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite limestone print depicts the renowned scribe Amenophis III (also known as Amenhotep III) in a deeply devotional moment during the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, around 1490-1400 BC. The New Kingdom period, a time of prosperity and cultural advancement, is reflected in the intricate details of this artwork. Amenophis is shown with his hands pressed together in a gesture of reverence, gazing upwards towards the Sun-God, Ra, whose radiant disc is depicted above. The scribe's eyes are closed, indicating a deep connection to the divine. The hieroglyphs inscribed on the print, a testament to the ancient Egyptian writing system, reveal the name and title of the scribe – "Amen-hetep, son of Hapu, the beloved of Amun." The polychrome details add depth and dimension to the artwork, enhancing the mythological significance of the scene. The interior of a temple or a royal palace is suggested by the background, further emphasizing the public and official nature of the image. This masterpiece is currently housed in the Glyptoteket Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Ancient Egypt. The intricate details and symbolism in this artwork continue to captivate scholars and visitors alike, offering a glimpse into the religious beliefs and daily life of the ancient Egyptians.
