EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound ancient Egyptian mythology and spirituality. The artwork, titled "Anubis takes care of the mummy while the soul of the deceased flies for transmigration" showcases Anubis, the jackal-headed god associated with death and embalming, fulfilling his sacred duty. In this scene from "Monuments of Egypt and Upper Nubia" by Ippolito Rosellini, we witness Anubis diligently tending to a mummified body while simultaneously guiding the departing soul towards its journey of transmigration. The unknown artist skillfully portrays Anubis as a figure both powerful and compassionate, embodying his role as protector and guide in the afterlife. The image exudes an aura of mystery and reverence as it transports us back to ancient times when Egyptian paganism thrived. It serves as a reminder that religion played an integral part in shaping their beliefs about life beyond death. With intricate engravings depicting symbolic details such as hieroglyphs adorning temple walls or ornate burial rituals, this 19th-century engraving offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Egyptian culture. Its inclusion in private collections highlights its historical significance and artistic value. Giancarlo Costa's expert capture ensures that this remarkable piece endures through time. As we contemplate this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of humanity's eternal fascination with mortality, spirituality, and our quest for understanding what lies beyond our earthly existence.
