EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Horus Albani, a stunning alabaster statue from the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. Displayed at the Louvre in Paris, France, this masterpiece is a testament to both ancient and neoclassical artistry. The lower part of the statue, adorned with intricate hieroglyphs and depicting legs and forearms, dates back to the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II (circa 1279-1213 BC). It was discovered in Rome at the sanctuary of Isis of the Champs de Mars. The upper part of Horus Albani was recreated during the second half of the 18th century for Cardinal Albani's villa, reflecting an exquisite blend of Egyptian and neoclassical styles. Photographed by Kim Young Tae, this image captures every detail with precision and clarity. The carving skillfully portrays Horus as a divine figure - a god associated with protection and kingship in ancient Egypt. With its regal posture and heavenly aura, it exudes power and majesty. The inclusion of hieroglyphics adds another layer to its significance; these ancient writings convey stories from Egyptian mythology while also serving as religious inscriptions. This fusion of mythological symbolism and artistic craftsmanship makes Horus Albani an exceptional piece that bridges cultures across time. Kim Young Tae's photography allows us to appreciate not only this remarkable artwork but also its historical context. Through his lens, we can delve into Egypt's rich heritage while marveling at humanity's enduring fascination with gods, goddesses, and divine beings throughout history.
