In his untitled series, Roman sculptures from the Cherchell Museum come to life, transporting us back to 1856 when these masterpieces were first immortalized through Greene's lens. As we venture further, Medinet Habu's Mortuary Temple of Ramses III beckons us with its left wall adorned with intricate hieroglyphics. Standing before it, one can almost feel the weight of history and marvel at the artistry that has stood strong for centuries. A glimpse into "Tombeau de la chretienne, " also known as Tomb of the Christian Woman, reveals a breathtaking view from its northern side. This photograph captures both serenity and mystery as we contemplate the stories hidden within those ancient walls. Greene's exploration extends beyond tombs and temples; he takes us on an enchanting journey through Algeria's antiquities. With each click of his camera shutter, we are transported to another era - witnessing Philae Island's grandeur in 1853-54 or immersing ourselves in Dakkeh's timeless beauty during that same period. The Bank of Rhumel near Constantine stands tall against nature’s backdrop in ca. 1855-56. Through Greene’s lens, we witness not only architectural magnificence but also how humanity coexists harmoniously with its surroundings. Nature itself becomes a subject for Greene as he captures the mesmerizing waterfall in Constantine during 1856. The sheer power and elegance depicted remind us of our insignificance compared to Earth’s wonders. Amada Temple comes alive under Greene’s gaze during his expedition between 1853-54.
