EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ibsamboul, Colosse Oriental Du Grand Speos De Phre; Nubie, 1849/51" transports us back to the ancient wonders of Egypt. Taken by French photographer Maxime du Camp in 1852, this work is part of his album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie". The image showcases the monumental colossus at Ibsamboul (Abu Simbel), a renowned archaeological site in southern Egypt. The colossal statue belongs to Ramses II (also known as Ramesses the Great), one of ancient Egypt's most powerful pharaohs. Du Camp's expert use of salted paper print brings out intricate details on the weathered rock-cut monument. The towering figure looms against a dramatic backdrop of rocky cliffs and clear blue skies. As we gaze upon this historic masterpiece, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists within these ancient lands. The artistry and architectural prowess displayed here speak volumes about the skill and devotion of those who came before us. Through this photograph, Maxime du Camp invites us to explore not only an awe-inspiring physical structure but also a spiritual connection with our past. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with history and its ability to transcend time. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago or any other reputable art gallery or institute worldwide, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity for introspection and appreciation for both artistic excellence and historical significance.
