Throwback Thursday for Feb. 16

Today in history:

Apparently not too much happened, in terms of art history! However:

In 1923, in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, Howard Carter, an English archaeologist and Egyptologist, opened the inner burial chamber of the famous boy king, Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Carter had discovered the antechamber in the November of the previous year, however, it wasn’t until today that he was able to enter the inner room of the tomb and find the beautiful sarcophagus of “King Tut”. It is this pharaoh's tomb that is considered to be the best preserved ever found in the Valley of the Kings, and is world renowned for its beauty and splendor. At the time it reinvigorated global interest in ancient Egypt, and much of the tomb’s items and art have toured the world. King Tut would go on to become a world famous icon/obsession: products and businesses were named after him, and his influence can easily be found in various mediums from books and comics to jewelry design. Other fields of culture influenced include music, art, fashion, film, architecture, and furniture design, especially in the 1920’s and 30’s with the Art Deco movement, which is strongly influenced by ancient Egyptian art/motifs.

The alabaster canopic jars of Tutenkhamen. These are exquisite. The eyes are the key. Gazing into each other’s eyes for eternity. Whilst holding his viscera safe #cairo #tutenkhamun https://www.instagram.com/p/BwKOMZXg6t4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16acknqpm2sm9
