哈姆扎·法赫米 开罗 — 埃及周日揭幕了修复后的“两兄弟圆形画”，这是一幅珍贵的2世纪 Fayum 画像。
HAMZA FAHMY CAIRO — Egypt unveiled Sunday a restored version of the “Tondo of the Two Brothers,” a prized 2nd-century painting from the famed Fayum portraits.
罗马的专家与开罗塔赫里尔埃及博物馆的修复人员合作，历时三周完成了这幅画作的修复工作，官员们在新闻发布会上表示。
Specialists from Rome worked alongside conservators from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir — where the collection is usually kept — for three weeks to restore the artwork, officials said at a press conference.
Fayum 木乃伊画像主要绘制在薄木板上，置于木乃伊裹尸布下方的逝者面部，融合了埃及的葬礼传统与更广泛的希腊罗马世界的艺术影响。
Fayum mummy portraits were painted primarily on thin wooden panels and placed over the faces of the deceased within mummy wrappings, combining Egyptian funerary traditions with artistic influences from the wider Greco-Roman world.
埃及将把该收藏的主要部分借出，在罗马举办临时展览，标志着该收藏首次出国展出。
Egypt will lend a major part of the collection to a temporary exhibition in Rome, marking the first time it will travel abroad.
“两兄弟圆形画的修复是国际合作在文化遗产保护与研究方面所能取得成就的重要例证，”埃及旅游和古物部长谢里夫·法蒂说。“埃及和意大利有着深厚的历史和文化渊源，此项目汇聚了埃及和意大利的专业力量，为后世保护这一杰出艺术品。”
“The restoration of the Tondo of the Two Brothers is an important example of what can be achieved through international cooperation in the preservation and study of cultural heritage,” said Sherif Fathy, Egypt’s minister of tourism and antiquities. “Egypt and Italy share deep historical and cultural ties, and this project brings together Egyptian and Italian expertise to preserve an exceptional work of art for future generations.”Experts describe the painting as unusual because of its circular shape and its depiction of two people instead of one, and rank it among the most vivid surviving portraits from Roman-era Egypt. It was painted using a technique in which pigments are mixed with molten wax, and restorers were able to recover the features of the brother on the right.
专家们指出，这幅画因其圆形构图以及描绘了两个人而非一人而显得罕见，并将其列为罗马时期埃及现存最生动的画像之一。该画采用蜡画技法创作，即将颜料与熔化的蜡混合，修复人员成功恢复了右侧兄弟的面部特征。
Aly Abdel Halim, director general of the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, said the conservation required careful intervention because both the wooden support, damaged by termites, and the painted surface were fragile.
开罗塔赫里尔埃及博物馆总干事阿利·阿卜杜勒·哈利姆表示，此次修复需要谨慎干预，因为木制底板曾受白蚁损害，且画面本身也十分脆弱。这些画像将于2027年11月至次年5月在罗马展出。
The portraits will be featured in an exhibition in Rome from November to May 2027.
MondoMostre的主席Tomaso Radaelli表示，此次展览将汇集超过110件展品，包括绘画面板、葬礼裹尸布、面具、大理石肖像、石膏模型和古代珠宝。
Tomaso Radaelli, chairman of MondoMostre, the exhibition’s organizer, said it will bring together more than 110 objects, including painted panels, funerary shrouds, masks, marble portraits, plaster casts and ancient jewelry.
