Queen Nefertiti Original painting by Mel Fiorentino

The history behind Queen Nefertiti’s life has always fascinated me since I was a kid. She was married to the famous Akhenaton, who was the father of the extremely famous King Tutankhamen. This family altered religion in Egypt from polytheism to monotheism and believed the one true god was the Aten, the sun represented in the painting in gold with the arms reaching down offering eternal life..

In this painting I am showing a story, a love story in a way, where this woman remembers a life of her beloved husband holding one of their children. She reaches out offering eternal life and eternal love.
