EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Statue of Hor" from Alexandria, dating back to around 40 BC. Carved out of basalt during the Egyptian Ptolemaic Period, this remarkable piece stands at an impressive height of 83 cm. Currently housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt, it is a true testament to ancient craftsmanship. The statue is believed to depict Hor-si-hor or Horsihor, a priest of the god Thoth. With its intricate details and lifelike features, it exudes a sense of power and authority. The portrait captures Hor's commanding presence as he stands tall with his cloak draped over him. This Greco-Roman masterpiece offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. It beautifully combines elements from both Greek and Egyptian art styles, showcasing their harmonious fusion during that period. Photographer David Lee has skillfully captured every nuance and texture in this photograph. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also the historical significance behind this timeless work of art. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where gods were worshipped and priests held immense influence over society. This photograph serves as a window into our past, reminding us of our connection to those who came before us and inspiring awe for their achievements in artistry and spirituality.
