EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Nefertiti, an Egyptian princess and the beloved wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, during the 18th Dynasty's New Kingdom, around 1345 BC. The exquisite limestone and stucco bust, believed to have been crafted by the skilled sculptor Thutmose, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Nefertiti's bust, now housed in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin (Neues Museum), Germany, was discovered at Tell-el-Amarna, the ancient capital city of Akhenaten's reformist religious movement. The bust is adorned with intricate polychrome details, which have been preserved over the millennia, adding to its allure. Nefertiti's serene and elegant visage, with her distinctive wig and elongated neck, is a symbol of the great royal womanhood of the ancient Egyptian empire. Her face, with its subtle features and expressive eyes, has captivated historians, artists, and the public alike for centuries. The Nefertiti bust is a significant historical artifact, providing valuable insights into the culture, art, and society of ancient Egypt during the 14th century BC. Its preservation and display in the Egyptian Museum of Berlin serve as a reminder of the rich and complex history of this ancient civilization.
