EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable ancient artifact known as the Stele dedicated to Isis depicting Cleopatra VII. Created during the Egyptian Ptolemaic Period, this limestone masterpiece showcases the iconic queen, Cleopatra VII (69-30 BC), making a solemn offering to the goddess Isis while breastfeeding her son Horus. The intricate details of this 52x28 cm artwork can be admired at the Louvre in Paris, France. In this powerful portrayal, Cleopatra's regal presence is enhanced by her elaborate headdress and majestic attire. The relief sculpture beautifully depicts her devotion as she presents offerings to Isis, symbolizing her reverence for motherhood and divine protection. The uraeus cobra and vulture motifs further emphasize her connection with royalty and divinity. Dedicated by Onnophris, this stele not only serves as a portrait of Cleopatra but also features Greek text that adds historical significance to its artistic value. Through its exquisite craftsmanship and ancient Egyptian writing, it offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. As we contemplate this extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us marvel at how art has preserved moments from history for generations to come.
