Matt Protecting the Cartouche of Nefertari

 

Original in the Tomb of Nefertari Valley of the Queens 1250 BC
Digital Giclee Reproduction
13 by 15 inches

Official monumental painting reaches a climax in the wall decoration of the tomb of Nefertari, Great Royal Wife of Ramses the Great. A slight modeling of plaster is substituted for drawing, and gods and goddesses appear as classical as time immemorial. Only the abundance of detail and bright coloration betray the time of execution of these masterpieces. Symbolic of Truth and Justice, the goddess Maat is sitting in front of the cartouche of the queen, protecting with her wings the name of Nefertari for all time.

Ben Morales-Correa has carefully executed and rendered with accurate colors every detail of this magnificent wall painting. Digitally scanned at high resolution and reproduced with the most advanced printing technology, the result is a fine art gallery giclee print that you can order online and cherish for generations to come.

 

 

What is a Giclee Print?
Giclee (pronounced "zee-clay") comes from the French word, "fine spray". It is a digital print that is produced by the application of millions of tiny ink droplets sprayed onto fine art paper or canvas. The archival based inks used for this exceedingly fine replica are specially formulated to last 100 to 200 years and print at a resolution of 1200 dpi. The visual quality of the print is extremely high and the color saturation and definition simply stunning.
