EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic "Statue of Apis, god of fertility" which was taken from Serapeum and is now preserved in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The statue, dating back to the Late Period of Egypt (664-332 a. C), represents an important symbol in Egyptian mythology and ancient civilization. The image captures the essence of fertility, allegory, and abstract concepts through its depiction of an ox-like figure. This terrestrial creature stands tall as a representation of mammals, vertebrates, and animals in general. Its youthful appearance suggests a calf or young bull - symbolic traits associated with Apis. As an animal divinity revered by ancient Egyptians, Apis embodied both earthly power and divine significance. This statue serves as a testament to their belief system that intertwined nature worship with spirituality. The photograph itself was captured by Alinari Fratelli around 1920-30 ca. , showcasing their skillful artistry in preserving this remarkable piece for future generations to appreciate. The attention to detail reveals every intricate feature carved into the statue's surface - from its muscular physique to its prominent horns. Displayed within the Louvre Museum's collection on Egyptian Art, this artifact not only reflects Africa's rich cultural heritage but also offers insights into ancient civilizations' concept or subjects expressed through artistic mediums like sculpture. Alinari's photograph allows viewers worldwide to experience this extraordinary artwork without traveling directly to Paris. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to time or location - it transcends eras and continents while continuing to inspire awe and fascination today
