EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Egyptian deity Re-Atum, who represents the setting sun. Created during the 19th Dynasty (1295-1190 BC), this relief on a pyramidion is housed in the Egyptian Museum in Turin, Italy. The artwork depicts Re-Atum with exquisite detail and craftsmanship. Standing at a height of 70 cm, it is an impressive representation of this mythological character. The relief was originally part of the chapel of Ramose, adorned with hieroglyphs and carvings that tell stories from ancient Egypt's rich mythology. Re-Atum holds great significance in Egyptian culture as he symbolizes the daily cycle of sunrise and sunset. As the sun sets each evening, it was believed that Re-Atum would journey through the underworld before rising again to bring light and life to the world. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this piece of history through her photography skills, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even from afar. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with gods and their role in shaping our understanding of existence. Through archaeology and art like this relief on a pyramidion, we gain insight into ancient civilizations' beliefs and customs while marveling at their artistic achievements. It is a testament to human creativity across time and reminds us that there is much we can learn from our ancestors' wisdom and spirituality.
