EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful moment in ancient Egyptian history. In this scene, the mighty god Amun is depicted offering a sickle weapon to the pharaoh Ramesses III as he strikes down two captured enemies. The artist, Jean Francois Champollion, beautifully captures the intensity and grandeur of this significant event. The image transports us back to Egypt during the reign of Ramesses III (c. 1184-1153 BC), where divine intervention played a crucial role in battles and conquests. As the god of air and wind, Amun was highly revered by Egyptians for his ability to grant victory in warfare. Ramesses III stands tall and resolute, embodying both regal authority and divine favor bestowed upon him by Amun. His striking pose symbolizes his strength as a ruler who commands not only mortal armies but also celestial forces. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to an otherwise ancient fresco from Ibsamboul. It serves as a testament to Champollion's skillful interpretation of Egyptian artistry while preserving its historical significance. This remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich mythology and culture of ancient Egypt. It reminds us that even thousands of years ago, faith played an integral role in shaping human destiny on Earth's most majestic civilizations
