EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving from the 17th century, titled "The Sun and associated gods, Egypt". The artwork, extracted from Athanasius Kircher's Obeliscus pamphilius published in Rome in 1650, offers a glimpse into the intricate world of Egyptian mythology. At the center of this vertical composition stands a powerful male Sun deity surrounded by other male gods. Radiating strength and authority, he symbolizes the life-giving force that illuminates our world. Below him lies the female Moon deity encircled by an array of female goddesses. Together, they represent the celestial balance between day and night. The meticulous detailing of each deity's name adds depth to this illustration. It serves as a testament to Kircher's dedication to preserving ancient knowledge through his engravings. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless quality of this piece while allowing us to focus on its intricate design. Todd-White Art Photography has masterfully captured this historical artifact with precision and clarity. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to explore Egypt's rich cultural heritage and delve into the fascinating realm of deities worshipped centuries ago.
