EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact known as the "Panel with Painted Image of Serapis". Originating from Egypt, Africa, this ancient piece is believed to date back to around 100 AD. Created using tempera on wood, it measures approximately 39.1 cm in height, 19.1 cm in width, and has a depth of 1.6 cm. The panel depicts an enigmatic figure known as Serapis, whose identity remains somewhat mysterious even today. Serapis was a syncretic deity combining elements of Greek and Egyptian gods such as Zeus and Osiris. This fusion reflects the cultural exchange that occurred during the Hellenistic period when Greek influence spread throughout Egypt. The artist's skillful use of tempera brings out vivid colors and intricate details in this painting. The rich hues used to depict Serapis' flowing robes contrast beautifully against the dark background, highlighting his divine presence. As we gaze at this image captured through photography, we are transported back in time to an era where religious beliefs intertwined across continents. This panel serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and spiritual significance that permeated ancient Egyptian culture. Whether you are an art enthusiast or history lover, this print offers a glimpse into the past while adding an air of mystery and intrigue to any space it adorns.
