EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating Stela of Intef, dating back to the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt (c. 1479-1425 BC), is a remarkable piece of limestone artwork that stands at an impressive size of 175x120 cm. Housed within the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this stela showcases the incredible craftsmanship and artistic skills of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty. Believed to be a grave marker or tombstone, this stela holds great historical significance as it commemorates Intef's role as chancellor under two prominent pharaohs - Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III. The intricate carvings on its surface depict hieroglyphics, offering tables, and various symbols associated with funerary rituals. Through low relief carving techniques, the artist has skillfully brought these elements to life while preserving their timeless beauty. Each hieroglyphic symbol tells a story about Intef's journey into the afterlife and serves as a testament to his importance during his time. This print captures every detail of this extraordinary artifact from ancient Egypt. It allows us to appreciate not only its historical value but also its aesthetic appeal. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back thousands of years ago when such steles were created with reverence for those who have passed on. With this print by Bridgeman Images, we can now bring a piece of ancient history into our own homes and marvel at the artistry that continues to captivate audiences even today.
