EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pilaster from the Amun-Re Temple of Amenophis III at Karnak, Egypt. Dating back to 1411-1375 B. C. , this ancient architectural feature is steeped in history and cultural significance. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. In the image, we see Amenophis III himself depicted in a posture of homage towards the goddess Hathor. This powerful representation highlights the deep religious devotion and reverence that characterized ancient Egyptian society. The intricate hieroglyphics adorning the pilaster further emphasize its importance as a decorative element within the temple. The photograph itself was taken in 1928 by Achille Constant Théodore Émile Prisse d'Avennes, an esteemed French archaeologist and illustrator known for his meticulous documentation of Egyptian art and architecture. It was featured as Plate III, figure 3 in "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text provided by Helmuth Bossert. This stunning print serves as a window into both ancient Egypt's rich artistic heritage and early twentieth-century scholarly endeavors to preserve and understand it. Its presence evokes a sense of awe for those who appreciate history, culture, and architectural beauty alike.
