EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricate beauty of Egyptian art and mythology. The image captures column capitals in the shape of the head of the deity cow Hathor, a prominent figure in ancient Egyptian culture. These stunning sculptures were created during the 18th Dynasty, dating back to approximately 1567-1320 BC. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every curve and line of these column capitals. Each one is meticulously carved to resemble Hathor's divine countenance, with her gentle eyes and serene expression. As a goddess associated with love, joy, music, and motherhood, Hathor held great significance in Egyptian religious beliefs. These particular column capitals can be found at Deir El-Bahri in Thebes, Egypt. They adorn a temple dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut (1479 BC - 1457 BC), showcasing the importance placed on this powerful female ruler within ancient Egyptian society. Photographer Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured not only the physical beauty of these sculptures but also their historical and cultural significance. Through her lens, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand the incredible artistic achievements of our ancestors. This photograph serves as a testament to both human creativity and our enduring fascination with mythological characters from antiquity. It stands as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, these works continue to inspire awe and admiration for their timeless elegance.
