One hundred years ago today King Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in Luxor, Egypt. We celebrate this monumental discovery with a painting by Johannes Weninger, stonemason at the Epigraphic Survey, which depicts an Egyptian workman holding the “mannequin” of Tutankhamun (JE 60722), a life-sized model of a torso and the head of the king.
In the words of the artist: “I found it inspiring to see a contemporary Egyptian carrying the bust of the king of his ancestors. I felt as if historic boundaries suddenly blurred and no longer existed. The photograph that was possibly taken by Arthur Mace and published in a recent book by Christina Riggs “Photographing Tutankhamun” served as the inspiration for this painting. It originally had more figures, but I choose to paint just one and the bust, to show the almost intimate relationship of a man and the bust of the king.
By painting this scene, I wanted to capture the long-lasting relation between people who have lived, and live among Luxor’s ancient ruins, tombs, and temples. The people who are the descendants of Ancient Egypt. Looking at the various depictions of Tutankhamun I constantly see the faces of my colleagues and neighbors with whom I share my life in Luxor.”

So I said to myself... How about we start a fashion and clothing line name

As we prepare to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, we wanted to look at the event in a slightly different way. We’re highlighting paintings done by artist Johannes Weninger, who shares his life between Chicago and Egypt, and works as a stonemason for the Epigraphic Survey in Luxor.
Speaking with Johannes about today’s image, the artist said, “This boy achieved fame through a story that stated he inadvertently discovered Tut’s tomb while working in the Valley of the Kings. He is said to have planted the pointed end of his clay water jug into the gravel ground and struck a stone that belonged to the tomb. The face of this boy, who is frequently referred to as “the water boy” reminds me of many boys I have encountered in Egypt. By painting this young face so full of expression I deliberately wanted to show that the discovery of the tomb was also made by Egyptians, by the close inhabitants of the pharaonic civilization whose houses frequently stood on top of its ruins. It made me wonder what he felt when he was chosen to adorn the necklace that another boy, who happened to be a king, wore more than 3 thousand years before.”
