EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Roman Isis and Horus, Harpocrates" takes us back to the 19th century, where European artists sought inspiration from classical antiquities. This particular artwork is part of a private collection and showcases the intricate details of Roman mythology. In this scene, we see the mythological figures of Isis and Horus alongside Harpocrates. The artist skillfully captures their divine presence through delicate lines and shading. The enchanting illustration was originally created for A Dictionary of Classical Antiquities by Dr Oskar Seyffert in 1891. Isis, a prominent goddess in ancient Egyptian mythology, is depicted here with her son Horus standing beside her. They are joined by Harpocrates, who symbolizes silence or secrecy in Greek mythology. Together, they embody various aspects of religion and spirituality. The black-and-white composition adds an air of timelessness to this piece while allowing us to focus on the intricate details within each figure's attire and expressions. It serves as a reminder that myths transcend time and continue to captivate our imagination even centuries later. This print offers viewers a glimpse into both ancient Roman culture and the artistic techniques prevalent during the 19th century. It stands as a testament to how art can bridge gaps between different eras and cultures while preserving their rich heritage for future generations to appreciate.
