EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to ancient Egypt, where the grandeur and power of Pharaoh Ramses II reigns supreme. The image showcases a remarkable bas relief at the entrance of the great temple of Ramses II in Abu Simbel, Egypt. Created by skilled artisans from the Egyptian 19th Dynasty during 1271-56 BC, this masterpiece depicts prisoners illustrating the victories achieved by Pharaoh Ramses II. As we gaze upon this stunning artwork, we are reminded of Ramses II's formidable reputation as one of Egypt's greatest rulers, earning him the title "Ramses the Great". The intricate details and lifelike portrayal of these prisoners serve as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. The scene captures our imagination with its rich symbolism and storytelling. Each prisoner represents a conquered nation or enemy defeated by Pharaoh Ramses II's military might. Their expressions convey a mixture of fear, resignation, and awe towards their powerful captor. Through this photo print, we are granted an intimate glimpse into ancient Egyptian civilization—a world steeped in mythology, architectural marvels, and imperial conquests. It serves as a poignant reminder that art has always been intertwined with politics and power throughout history. This extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also offers us an opportunity to reflect on humanity's eternal quest for dominance over others—an enduring theme that transcends time itself.
