"Exploring the Enigmatic Antechamber: A Glimpse into History and Everyday Life" Step back in time to 1922, as we enter the antechamber of the Tomb of Tutankhamun in the mystical Valley of the Kings, Egypt. The air is thick with anticipation, as archaeologists uncover ancient treasures that have been hidden for centuries. In contrast, let us now travel to a different era - c. 1656-60 - where we find ourselves immersed in an intimate scene captured on canvas. "Woman with a Child in a Pantry" portrays a tender moment frozen in time, offering a glimpse into domestic life during this period. Moving forward to Nice, South of France, we discover Lascaris Palace's grandeur through its majestic antechamber. This opulent space serves as an introduction to lavish interiors and echoes stories from bygone eras. Leaping across borders and mediums, an engraving titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Antichambre; Antechamber; Vorzimmer" invites us to explore language itself while showcasing various interpretations of this transitional space. Our journey continues amidst ancient ruins at Karnak's Temple of Amun. Here lies evidence of past civilizations' reverence for sacred spaces like antechambers - gateways between earthly realms and divine realms. Returning to more familiar settings but no less captivating scenes depicted on canvas from c. 1663-65 reveal leisurely moments spent within elegant surroundings – perhaps even within an exquisite antechamber itself. Venturing further into history brings us face-to-face with Venice's dark past. An engraving depicting the ominous "Antechamber of the Tribunal of Inquisition" reminds us that not all they are welcoming or benign places. Shifting gears once again, we encounter Nonette – painted over royal antechamber door for Marly Castle by Alexandre-Francois Desportes.
