EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Treachery of Bitous Wife" takes us back to the enchanting world of ancient Egypt. Illustrated by Lewis Spence in 1917, this color lithograph beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Egyptian mythology. In this scene, we witness the treacherous actions of Bitous' wife as she betrays him. Bitou, seeking justice and closure, transforms himself into the sacred bull Apis and enters a harem where his former wife resides. The tension is palpable as he confronts her, embodying both power and vulnerability. The artist Evelyn Paul skillfully brings this mythological tale to life with intricate details and vibrant colors. Each brushstroke tells a story of reincarnation and betrayal that resonates through time. "The Treachery of Bitous Wife" invites us to delve into the rich tapestry of Egyptian mythology, exploring themes such as love, loyalty, and deceit. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, human emotions were complex and timeless. As part of the Stapleton Collection held privately, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its evocative imagery. Bridgeman Images presents it for our appreciation without commercial intent or mention thereof – allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in its artistic beauty while contemplating the enduring tales woven within Egyptian culture.
