EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the god Horus, depicted in the form of a majestic sparrowhawk. Created in 1823 by Jean Francois Champollion, this vibrant colour lithograph captures the essence of ancient Egyptian mythology and symbolism. Horus, known as the Sun Divinity, is revered as one of Egypt's most significant deities. In this artwork from "Pantheon Egyptien: collection des personnages mythologiques de l'ancienne Egypte" published in Paris, we witness Horus embodying the power and grace of a sparrowhawk. The intricate hieroglyphics surrounding him further emphasize his role as a symbol of creation and divinity. Champollion's attention to detail brings this ancient deity to life on paper. The vivid colors used in the lithograph enhance Horus' regal presence while capturing the radiance associated with sun worship. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into ancient Egyptian culture and spirituality. It serves as a reminder that art has long been intertwined with religious beliefs throughout history. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image, we are transported back in time to an era where gods walked among mortals and legends were born. Champollion's masterpiece continues to inspire awe and fascination today, reminding us of our enduring fascination with mythology and our quest for understanding humanity's spiritual connection with higher powers.
