EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stone sculpture of Anubis, the revered jackal god associated with the afterlife in ancient Egyptian mythology. Created during the 1st century AD by an unknown artist from the Egyptian School, this artwork is now housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Anubis, often depicted as a man with a jackal's head or as a full-bodied jackal, played a crucial role in mummification and guiding souls to the underworld. This Greco-Roman era sculpture beautifully captures his powerful presence and divine essence. The intricate carving details on this stone sculpture highlight Anubis' regality and mystique. The artist skillfully portrays every aspect of this mythological character - from his elongated snout to his upright ears and piercing eyes that seem to hold ancient wisdom. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the reverence bestowed upon Anubis by ancient Egyptians. His significance as both protector and guide through death's journey is palpable even today. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this timeless masterpiece through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. Her passion for Egyptian antiquities shines through each detail she meticulously captures. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mythology, history, and artistry – reminding us of our connection to past civilizations and their beliefs about life beyond death.
