Africa Linen Mummy Painted Youth Shroud
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, known as the "Mummy Shroud with Painted Portrait of a Youth". Created between 220 and 250 AD, this exquisite piece of art is believed to have originated in Africa. The shroud itself measures H: 49.5 x W: 35.5 cm (19 1/2 x 14 in. ), making it a relatively small yet incredibly detailed work. The use of tempera on linen brings forth vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. The portrait depicts an unknown youth, their features delicately painted with great precision and care. It is fascinating to observe how the artist captured every nuance, from the youthful glow on their cheeks to the intricate details of their clothing. As we gaze upon this mummy shroud, we are transported back in time to an era steeped in mystery and spirituality. This artwork not only serves as a burial cloth but also offers insight into ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. The Liszt Collection has carefully preserved this rare artifact for us to appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty today. Through this photo print, we can marvel at the craftsmanship that has endured for centuries while pondering the stories behind both the subject depicted and those who created it
