EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful scene from ancient Egyptian mythology. In the image, Horus and Knoum stand tall in front of the bars, firmly holding prisoners captive within the confines of Horus temple in Edfu. The Temple of Horus, located in the city of Edfu in Upper Egypt, is an architectural marvel that has withstood the test of time. The photograph showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that bring to life this ancient civilization's rich history and artistic prowess. It serves as a testament to the remarkable archeological discoveries made at this site. Horus, known as a god associated with kingship and protection, stands alongside Knoum, another deity revered for his craftsmanship and creation abilities. Their imposing presence symbolizes their divine power over enemies or foes who have been captured. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back thousands of years to witness a moment frozen in time—a glimpse into an era when religion played a central role in society. The relief sculpture on display here not only highlights the skillful craftsmanship but also conveys themes of violence and conquest prevalent during that period. Through Jean Bernard's lens, we are granted access to explore these fascinating remnants of an ancient world—reminders of humanity's enduring fascination with gods and goddesses, civilizations long gone but forever etched into our collective memory.
