EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Egyptian vases and Harpocrates or god of silence" showcases the exquisite beauty of ancient Egyptian art. Created in 1802 by Lorenzo Roccheggiani, this print features three remarkable objects from different collections. The first vase depicted is a mesmerizing metal piece from the Museo Borgiano in Velletri. Its intricate details and ornate design are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of ancient Egyptians. The second vase, originating from Palazzo Salviati, adds another layer of elegance with its unique shape and delicate patterns. In the center stands Harpocrates, also known as the god of silence. This divine figure is portrayed through a metal seal discovered at the Borgiano Museum. With his finger pressed against his lips in a gesture symbolizing secrecy, Harpocrates exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Pietro Ruga expertly engraved this masterpiece based on Roccheggiani's original illustration for his book "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians". The print beautifully captures every intricate detail while maintaining its timeless charm. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into ancient Egyptian culture and religious beliefs. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since their creation, these artifacts continue to captivate our imagination with their enduring beauty.
