EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Beato Antonio transports us back in time to the ancient city of Thebes, Egypt. With its intricate details and rich history, it offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the Ramesseum temple during the Nineteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the four Osirian pilasters that stand tall against the backdrop of Thebes. These pillars, adorned with elaborate carvings and hieroglyphics, pay homage to Osiris, one of Egypt's most revered deities associated with rebirth and afterlife. Their presence serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted mythology that shaped Egyptian culture. Dominating the scene is also an awe-inspiring colossus dedicated to Ramses II, a pharaoh known for his military conquests and architectural achievements. This colossal statue stands as a testament to Ramses' power and ambition during his reign around 1260 BC. The photograph itself was taken around 1880 AD but captures an artwork dating back thousands of years earlier. It showcases not only Beato Antonio's skillful eye for composition but also highlights how art can transcend time and bring ancient civilizations closer to our modern world. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Beato Antonio from Alinari, we are reminded of Africa's rich heritage and its contribution to human civilization. It serves as a visual reminder that behind every artifact lies stories waiting to be unraveled - stories that connect us across generations and continents.
