EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "Egyptian gods and deities" created by Lorenzo Roccheggiani in 1802. The artwork, part of a private collection, offers an intriguing glimpse into the ancient Egyptian culture and its rich religious beliefs. The engraving features four significant figures from Egyptian mythology. Firstly, we see Apis, the god depicted as a bull, symbolizing fertility and strength. Next is Canopus, discovered by Sir William Hamilton in Tivoli's temple. This deity holds great importance as a guardian of the Nile River. Another deity portrayed in this artwork is a cockroach deity found on a monument within Villa Albani. Its presence signifies protection against evil forces or pests that threatened the people's well-being. Finally, we have the Sphinx, majestically worshipped along the banks of the Nile River. Lorenzo Roccheggiani skillfully captured these divine beings through his copperplate engravings with intricate details and precision. This particular piece was reproduced from his renowned work "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of Ancient Egyptians". With its ornate decorative elements reminiscent of ancient Egypt's opulence and grandeur, this engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact for enthusiasts interested in exploring African antiquity. Overall, this print provides viewers with an opportunity to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of Egyptian mythology while appreciating Roccheggiani's talent for bringing these ancient gods to life through his artistry.
