Pectoral Collar of Pinedjem I (1070-1032 BC) 21st Dynasty Pinedjem I (𓇋𓏠𓈖𓌸𓅮𓇛𓏭) “p3-nḏm=y mrı͗ ı͗mn” ‘Panedjemy, Beloved of Amun” was the High Priest 𓍛𓊹 “ẖm-nṯr” of Amun at Thebes 𓌀𓏏𓈈𓊖 “w3s.t” in Ancient Egypt from 1070 to 1032 BC and the de facto ruler 𓋾𓏘𓄿𓀭 “ḥqA” of the south of the country from 1054 BC. He was the son of the High Priest Piankh. However, many Egyptologists today believe that the succession in the Amun priesthood actually ran from Piankh to Herihor to Pinedjem I (Wikipedia). The design of the pectoral displays two bees 𓆤 “bity” (symbol of kingship of Lower Egypt 𓇾𓇊 “t3-mḥw”, which is the northern Delta) on opposite sides of Khepri, the scarab beetle 𓐍𓊪𓂋𓂋𓆣 “ḫprr”, representing the rising sun in the east 𓋁𓃀𓏏𓏭𓈊 “3b.t”. Underneath the scarab beetle is the symbol for the rising sun 𓈍 “ḫ3”, and above is the sundisk 𓇋𓏏𓈖𓇳 “ı͗tn” being carried forward by Khepri 𓆣𓂋𓇌 “ḫpri”.

Amore si china a baciare la sua adorata Psiche, dopo averla risvegliata dal sonno mortale in cui questa era caduta: la donna alza le braccia, in un gesto elegante e leggero, sfiorando con le dita delle mani i capelli del suo amato. Le loro labbra si avvicinano ma non si uniscono. I corpi si accostano ma non si stringono. Il desiderio, testimoniato dalla mano di Amore che sfiora il seno di Psiche, è palpabile ma non espresso. Canova ha saputo fermare l'azione dei due amanti in un attimo eternamente sospeso. I due giovani rimangono rapiti uno nella bellezza dell'altra. Tutta la scena si pervade, in tal modo, di un sottilissimo e raffinato erotismo, che sicuramente contraddice l'idea, assai diffusa, che la scultura neoclassica sia incapace di rappresentare i sentimenti. Che Amore e Psiche si amino e si desiderino è invece qui mostrato in modo chiarissimo: soltanto che Canova non è interessato a rappresentare la passione incontenibile, l'impeto incontrollabile. Non è questo il compito dell'arte neoclassica che mira ad altro scopo; sicché, il travolgimento dei sensi viene sciolto nella tenerezza, lo slancio amoroso viene sfumato nel perenne incanto della contemplazione. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #amoreepsiche #canova #art #arteneoclassica #scultura #amore #favola #cupido #apuleio #nonèmarmoècarne #louvremuseum #paris #pinterest #tattoo #realistictattoo https://www.instagram.com/p/CkOiXWtDqHu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
