Gli antichi Egizi e la loro religione sono sempre stati un’argomento preferito sin da quando ero bambino, perciò ho deciso di rendere omaggio con delle semplici illustrazioni, una per ogni Dio.
La prima è Bastet(o Bast), Dea delle donne, gatti, fertiltà e protrettrice delle case. Veniva raffigurata con il corpo di donna e la testa di un felio, leonessa o gatto comune. Adorata in tutti i periodi dell’antico Egitto, veniva evocata contro le malattie, epidemie e spiriti malvagi.

Ancient Egyptians and their religion has always been one of my favourite topics ever since I was a child, so I decided to pay homage to them by making a series of simple paintings, one for each antique God.
The first is Bastet (or Bast), goddess of the women, cats, fertility, and protector of homes. She is depicted with the body of a woman and the head of a feline, either a lioness or a common cat. Worshipped thru every period of the ancient Egypt, and often summoned to heal from illnesses, epidemics and dark spirits.
Se non erro Bastet era una dea appartenente all'antico Egitto, quindi circa 3000 anni A.C. Non a caso gli egizi consideravano i gatti come semidei

Esattamente. I gatti venivano tenuti in casa per proteggere l'abitazione dagli spiriti e dagli dei malvagi. Erano come dei talismani viventi.
