EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Egyptian deity, The God Bes. Created around 350 BC, this limestone statue is a remarkable piece found in the prestigious collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris. The God Bes was revered during the later periods of dynastic history as a protector of households, specifically mothers and children. This concept of protection is beautifully depicted in this artwork, with Bes standing tall and confident, hands on hips. His direct gaze exudes strength and reassurance to those under his watchful eye. Bes holds great significance in Egyptian religion and mythology. As a guardian figure, he symbolizes safety and security for families across the country. This monochrome image captures not only the religious aspect but also highlights the intricate details carved into this ancient artifact. Published in 1936 as part of "The Art of Ancient Egypt" by Phaidon Press, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its historical value and artistic beauty even today. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in expressing beliefs and providing solace throughout different eras. Thanks to The Print Collector's preservation efforts, we can now admire this stunning representation of an important god from ancient Egypt's rich cultural heritage.
