EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic grandeur of the Colossi of Memnon in Egypt. Standing tall amidst the Theban Necropolis, these two seated sandstone statues depict the powerful Pharaoh Amenhotep III from the 14th century BC. The sheer size and intricate details of these ancient sculptures are awe-inspiring. Despite being weathered by time, they exude an air of regality and strength that transports us back to a bygone era. As we gaze upon them, we can almost imagine the pharaoh himself sitting there, overseeing his kingdom with authority and wisdom. Photographed by Pascal Sebah between 1860-1890, this image beautifully captures both the historical significance and artistic beauty of these colossal statues. The play of light and shadow adds depth to their features, highlighting every crease on their stone surfaces. These statues have witnessed centuries pass by – from ancient times through to modernity – silently standing as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage. They serve as a reminder that even in ruins, there is still immense beauty and history waiting to be discovered. Whether you are an archeology enthusiast or simply appreciate artistry from different eras, this print will transport you back in time to experience firsthand one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks - the Colossi of Memnon.
