EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Paint Box of Vizier Amenemope, a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt's New Kingdom. Crafted during the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, specifically between 1427 and 1401 BC, this boxwood masterpiece measures an impressive 21x3.6x2.2 cm. The paint box is a testament to the artistic prowess and attention to detail of its creators. It still retains its original cakes of pigment, offering a glimpse into the vibrant colors that were utilized by Amenemope himself. The cakes include red (red ocher), blue (Egyptian blue), green (a mixture of Egyptian blue, yellow ocher, and orpiment), as well as two black ones made from carbon black derived from charcoal. Amenemope served as vizier or prime minister under Amenhotep II but it is believed that he used this paint box for recreational purposes rather than official duties. This adds another layer of intrigue to this historical artifact. Now housed in the esteemed Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this rectangular-shaped implement adorned with hieroglyphs speaks volumes about ancient Egyptian artistry and their mastery over pigments and colors. As we admire this extraordinary piece through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the creativity and passion that once flowed through Amenemope's hands as he indulged in his pastime - painting with these rich pigments on various surfaces across ancient Egypt's landscapes.
