An archive tracing the life and work of a woman who was a dancer, set designer and the wife of film star Rudolph Valentino before becoming a renowned Egyptologist was recently donated to the Yale Egyptological Institute in Egypt, part of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations.
The department will showcase the archive of Natcha Rambova at a reception and exhibit on Friday, April 17, at 2:30 p.m. in the Sterling Memorial Library lecture hall, 120 High St. The public is invited to attend.
"Natcha Rambova's work on the complex and multi-layered images of post-Ramesside mythological papyri resulted in important observations concerning the iconic representation of the twin solar axes over a decade before these concepts received any considerable attention from most Egyptologists," notes Professor John Darnell, director of the Yale Egyptological Institute in Egypt.
"The photographs and drawings within the archive will provide an important resource for Yale students of Egyptian and ancient Near Eastern studies," he adds.
