EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an iconic moment in Egyptian history, as Pharaoh Ramesses II (circa 1279-1212 BC) is triumphantly carried on the shoulders of his victorious soldiers following the Battle of Kadesh in 1275 BC. The Battle of Kadesh is considered one of the most significant military engagements in ancient Egyptian history, marking a turning point in the New Kingdom period. Ramesses II, renowned for his military prowess and architectural achievements, led his forces against the Hittites, resulting in a decisive victory that secured Egypt's borders and strengthened his reign. The triumphant scene portrayed in the print is a testament to the grandeur and power of the Egyptian civilization. Ramesses II, adorned in his royal regalia, is shown with a confident and resolute expression, symbolizing his unwavering leadership and determination. His soldiers, proudly carrying him aloft, represent the might and unity of the Egyptian military. The intricate details in the print, from the ornate headdresses of the soldiers to the intricately designed chariots and weapons, offer a glimpse into the social and historical context of ancient Egypt. The print serves as a reminder of the rich and complex civilization that flourished along the Nile River thousands of years ago, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
