EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the divine figure of Thoth, an ancient Egyptian god, as depicted in the Tomb of Prince Khaemwaset II. Believed to be the eldest son of Ramesses III during the New Kingdom era, this exquisite piece of painted limestone dates back to approximately 1187-1156 BC. Thoth is portrayed with a mesmerizing profile, adorned with a headdress that resembles an ibis bird's head. As the vizier of the gods and known for his wisdom and knowledge, Thoth was highly revered in Egyptian mythology. The solar disk and crescent moon prominently featured behind him symbolize his association with timekeeping and measurement. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable; every stroke captures Thoth's importance and power within ancient Egyptian society. This wall painting not only serves as a visual representation but also offers insight into their religious beliefs and practices during the Ramesside period. Located in QV44 within Thebes' Valley of Queens, this historical masterpiece continues to fascinate art enthusiasts worldwide. Preserved through centuries, it stands as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are granted access to appreciate this extraordinary work without any commercial implications or restrictions on its use. Let us marvel at this timeless depiction of Thoth – forever reminding us of Egypt's glorious past and its enduring artistic legacy.
