Bearing the wanton burden of the prime.” ~~~Shakespeare

 

 

The white chapel, Senusret I, who is offering a ritual conical loaf (shewbread?) to the god, Amun-Min.
The White Chapel stands out not only for its architectural beauty but also for its historical and cultural significance, offering a glimpse into the religious and political landscape of ancient Egypt.
Senusret I’s reign is often seen as a golden age of the Middle Kingdom, characterized by strong leadership, military prowess, and cultural achievements.

 

 

 

Senusret I Middle Egyptian: (Sesostris I) was the second pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from 1971 BC to 1926 BC (1920 BC to 1875 BC), and was one of the most powerful kings of this Dynasty. He was the son of Amenemhat I. Senusret I was known by his prenomen, Kheperkare, which means "the Ka of Re is created." He expanded the territory of Egypt allowing him to rule over an age of prosperity.
He continued his father's aggressive expansionist policies against Nubia by initiating two expeditions into this region in his 10th and 18th years and established Egypt's formal southern border near the second cataract where he placed a garrison and a victory stele. He also organized an expedition to a Western Desert oasis. Senusret I established diplomatic relations with some rulers of towns in Syria and Canaan. He also tried to centralize the country's political structure by supporting nomarchs who were loyal to him. His pyramid was constructed at el-Lisht. Senusret I is mentioned in the Story of Sinuhe where he is reported to have rushed back to the royal palace in Memphis from a military campaign in Libya after hearing about the assassination of his father, Amenemhat I.

"On the other hand, it was true that the crocodile emerged from the waters like the sun god himself; that facing east it basked in the early morning sun as though paying homage to the deity, and that it attacked the fish which were commonly viewed as the sun's enemies according to Egyptian mythological thinking."~~~Richard H. Wilkinson 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Work (1852–1865) is a painting by Ford Madox Brown that is generally considered to be his most important achievement. It exists in two versions. 

 

 "In England the most famous attempt was made by Ford Madox Brown in a picture called Work, begun in 1852. It projects the philosophy of Carlyle, who stands on the right grinning sardonically (with his friend Frederick Denison Maurice, the Christian Socialist). At the centre of his composition are the navvies, on whose labour all nineteenth-century prosperity depended, heroically strong, although, as always with Madox Brown, slightly grotesque. They are the men who made the Box Tunnel, and why they should be digging such an enormous hole in this quiet street in Hampstead I can't imagine. Round them are the idlers, elegant and fashionable, furtive and destitute, or merely naughty. Madox Brown looked at people, especially at cruel people, with an intense gaze which saves his work from the usual banality of social realism. All the same, this is descriptive painting, and as such, slightly provincial. But in France, at exactly the same time, there emerged two painters whose social realism was in the centre of the European tradition - Gustave Courbet and Jean Francois Millet."~~~Kenneth Clark: Civilisation. Ch13 Heroic Materialism
