A global painting that cannot be appreciated artistically or financially with the money of the world
Doesn't this artist, who lived in the Old Kingdom more than 4,000 years ago, deserve all the appreciation? How could he not when he immortalized himself with this painting...
He demonstrated the ingenuity of the power of expressive symbolism in Egyptian art, even in depicting animals. We find the farmer who drives the livestock, carrying a small calf on his back, who turns to his mother with a unique look, hanging his tongue over hers as if he is hugging her, and the mother exchanges the same position with him, trying to reassure the little one with A look of deep concern
Has an artist throughout history been able to immortalize himself and express in this amazing way even the feelings of an animal that shook our feelings from the mother’s fear for her newborn, and the newborn turning to her, communicating with her with his tongue in fear?
