EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the seated painted limestone statue of Rahotep and his wife Nofret, members of the royal family of the Fourth Dynasty in ancient Egypt. Discovered in their undisturbed mastaba tomb in Meidum by Albert Daninos in 1871, this remarkable piece of history has captivated viewers for centuries.
The Egyptian workmen who first opened the tomb were met with a chilling sight - the statues' eyes were inlaid with rock crystal, giving them an eerily lifelike appearance that seemed to glint at them in the torchlight. This feature was originally intended to ward off grave-robbers, but instead it struck fear into those who stumbled upon it.
Rahotep and Nofret sit side by side, frozen in time as a testament to their enduring love and status within Egyptian society. The intricate details of their clothing and jewelry speak to their wealth and power, while their serene expressions hint at a life well-lived together.
As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but feel transported back to ancient Egypt, where pharaohs ruled with divine authority and tombs held secrets waiting to be uncovered. The legacy of Rahotep and Nofret lives on through this exquisite statue, reminding us of a time long past but never forgotten.
