The ‘Sun’ Catcher
- Share via
I am really looking forward to seeing the “Pharaohs of the Sun” exhibit at the L.A. County Museum of Art, and I found both of the articles March 16 to be very interesting; they did much to whet my appetite in expectation of my trip.
One error should be corrected. In the article by Robert Faggen--”Was Pharaoh a Reformer or a Cipher?”--the illustration described as “Akhenaten, with a headless Tutankhamen” is, to any student of Amarnian art, a well-known statue of the young Pharaoh Tutankhaten after he had returned to Thebes and changed his name to Tutankhamen. To show his affinity with the old gods, he is being embraced and protected by the god Amon.
