Alexander Ii Corpse Egypt Head Dress Hellenistic Inscription Lion Medallion North African Pharaoh Profile
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a copper engraving from the 17th century, depicting Ptolemy XI, also known as Ptolemy Alexander II. As the King of Egypt in 80 B. C. , he ruled during a significant period in ancient history. The medallion captures his regal profile and features intricate details such as an inscription and an elaborate head dress. Despite being incorrectly identified as Ptolemy X on this particular engraving, the image still exudes a sense of grandeur and power associated with Egyptian pharaohs. The composition is enhanced by the presence of a majestic lion, symbolizing strength and royalty. Ptolemy XI's reign falls within the Hellenistic era, characterized by its fusion of Greek and Egyptian cultures. This unique blend is evident in his appearance, reflecting both North African influences and elements reminiscent of Alexander the Great's legacy. The historical significance of this artifact cannot be understated; it offers us a glimpse into one man's rule over ancient Egypt during tumultuous times. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and learn from these remarkable figures who shaped our world. Granger Art on Demand presents this extraordinary print to allow viewers to delve into the rich tapestry of human history through art.
