EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fresco from the tomb of Queen Nefertari in Thebes, dating back to the 13th century B. C. In this ancient Egyptian masterpiece, we witness an intriguing scene where Queen Nefertari herself is engrossed in a game of chess. Indoors, surrounded by the grandeur of her tomb, Queen Nefertari sits gracefully before a beautifully crafted chessboard. With utmost concentration and strategic prowess, she moves her pieces across the board with precision and grace. This depiction offers us a glimpse into the daily life of one of Egypt's most influential queens. The intricate hieroglyphic details adorning the walls further emphasize the significance and cultural richness surrounding this piece. As we delve into history, it becomes evident that chess was not only enjoyed as a recreational activity but also held symbolic meaning within ancient African societies during the Bronze Age and Iron Age. Belonging to North Africa's illustrious 19th Dynasty, Queen Nefertari stands as an embodiment of power and intelligence among women rulers throughout time. Through this artwork, we are transported back thousands of years to witness her intellectual prowess firsthand. Granger Art on Demand has expertly captured this extraordinary moment in history through their high-quality print reproduction.
