EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Bust of the Egyptian idol Canopus, god of water, carved in basalt and discovered in the Canopus of Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli. The intricate details of this ancient statue are beautifully depicted in this copperplate drawing by Giacomo Bossi from Pietro Paolo Montagnani-Mirabilii's Il Museo Capitolino (The Capitoline Museum) in Rome.
The serene expression on Canopus' face and the flowing lines of his headdress evoke a sense of divine power and tranquility. This piece serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange between Egypt and Rome during the reign of Emperor Hadrian.
Located within the grandeur of Hadrian's Villa, this sculpture is a testament to the architectural and artistic achievements of ancient civilizations. The juxtaposition of Egyptian mythology within a Roman setting highlights the interconnectedness of different cultures throughout history.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where gods walked among mortals and artistry knew no bounds. The beauty and craftsmanship captured in this print serve as a timeless tribute to both human creativity and spiritual reverence.
