Nefertiti Goddess print

Nefertiti, one of the most important female pharaohs in the history of ancient Egypt, is best known for her painted sandstone bust from which this Nefertiti Goddess print is inspired. It was rediscovered in 1913 and became a global icon of feminine beauty and power. Nefertiti and her husband Ramses II were known for a religious revolution, in which they worshipped solely the sun disc, Aten, as the only God. Her reign was a time of tremendous cultural upheaval. While a Queen, she is also known as Nefertiti Goddess of beauty. She was renowned for her looks and prominence and was called “the one for whom the sun shines”. In addition to the Nefertiti Goddess, I drew the flower Strelitzia, also called “the bird of paradise”, because it’s seen as a symbol of freedom. It also represents immortality which is a concept that represents Nefertiti, who revolutionized her times and country. Also, the bright orange and yellow color of the Strelitzia flower connects it in some way with the sun, just like the solar god Aten chosen by the Nefertiti Goddess as her religion. This Nefertiti goddess print combines beautifully with other Egyptian sculptural-inspired artwork like the Nile Queen Limited Edition Print.
