EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Seated Scribe of Medthu, a masterpiece from ancient Egypt's 18th Dynasty. Crafted between 1479 and 1425 BC, this limestone sculpture was originally painted, adding an extra layer of vibrancy to its already remarkable presence. The Seated Scribe sits in a dignified pose, his body slightly hunched forward as if engrossed in his work. His facial expression is serene yet focused, capturing the essence of concentration and intellectual prowess. Every detail is meticulously carved - from the intricate folds of his robe to the delicate features on his face. Measuring at approximately 30.50 cm in height, 18.90 cm in width, and 24.10 cm in depth, this statuette emanates a sense of power despite its relatively small size. It now resides within the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA after being gifted by the John Huntington Art and Polytechnic Trust. As we gaze upon this ancient artifact through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand the skill and artistry that flourished during Egypt's New Kingdom under Tutmosis III's reign. The Seated Scribe serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with preserving history through art - an everlasting connection between past civilizations and our present-day appreciation for their cultural legacy.
