EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a relief sculpture depicting Sobek, an ancient Egyptian deity. The stone carving, found in Kom Ombo, Egypt, showcases the divine presence and power of this crocodile-headed god. With its profile view, every line and curve is meticulously carved to bring out the essence of Sobek's majestic form. The craftsmanship evident in this relief speaks volumes about the skill and artistry of ancient Egyptian sculptors. The smoothness of the stone surface contrasts beautifully with the textured scales on Sobek's reptilian head. It is as if you can feel the cool touch of stone under your fingertips while admiring this masterpiece. Sobek was revered as a powerful god associated with fertility, protection, and military prowess. This relief would have adorned a sanctuary dedicated to his worship during Ptolemaic times. As you gaze at this image, you can almost sense Sobek's watchful eyes surveying his domain. Gerard Degeorge has expertly captured not only the physical attributes but also the spiritual aura surrounding this ancient artifact through his lens. This photograph serves as a testament to both Degeorge's talent as a photographer and to Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Whether you are an admirer of Egyptian mythology or simply appreciate fine art photography, this print will undoubtedly transport you back in time to experience firsthand one aspect of Egypt's fascinating history.
