EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bas-relief from ancient Egypt, specifically Tell el-Amarna. The artwork depicts the renowned Pharaoh Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV, during his worship of the solar disc. Belonging to the eighteenth dynasty of the New Kingdom era, this limestone masterpiece dates back to the 16th-11th century B. C. In this image, we witness Pharaoh Akhenaten with his arms raised in reverence towards the sun. His three-quarter length figure is adorned in semi-dress attire and holds an offering symbolizing divinity - an ankh. The hieroglyphs surrounding him further emphasize his connection to religion and depict his royal lineage. The composition exudes a sense of spirituality and awe-inspiring devotion as beams of light radiate from behind Pharaoh Akhenaten's figure. This portrayal not only captures a significant moment in Egyptian history but also serves as a testament to their deep-rooted religious beliefs. Preserved within the Egyptian Museum's collection, this archeological artifact stands as a testament to human representation in art during that time period. It offers us invaluable insights into ancient Egypt's rich cultural heritage and its profound influence on subsequent civilizations
