EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a royal group from the Amarna Period, specifically the latter half of the Eighteenth Dynasty in ancient Egypt. During this period, marked by the reign of Amenhotep IV, who later changed his name to Akhenaten (1353-1336 BC), there was a profound transformation in Egypt's religious beliefs. The polytheistic religion that had been practiced for centuries gave way to a new monotheistic worship centered around the sun-god Aten. In this image, we catch a glimpse of the majestic and enigmatic world of Egyptian royalty during this era. The fragmented sculpture depicts members of the royal family engaged in an act of devotion or perhaps participating in ceremonial rituals associated with their newfound faith. Despite its incomplete state, one can still appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship that characterized ancient Egyptian art. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how dramatic changes unfolded within Egyptian society during Akhenaten's reign. It serves as a tangible reminder of how religion played an integral role not only in shaping individual lives but also influencing entire civilizations. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured and preserved this historical artifact from our past, allowing us to delve into Egypt's rich cultural heritage and gain deeper insights into its fascinating history.
