EDITORS COMMENTS
Palais de Karnak, Propylees du Sud; Thebes, 1849/51, printed 1852. This photograph captures the grandeur of the Palais de Karnak's southern propylaea in ancient Thebes. Taken by Maxime du Camp in the mid-19th century, this salted paper print is a remarkable piece from his album 'Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie' (1852), showcasing his passion for documenting historical sites. The image transports us back to a time when Egypt was known as Mizraim and Luxor was called Al Uqsur. It offers a glimpse into the world of Senusret I during the New Kingdom period. The imposing gateway stands tall against the backdrop of a serene lake and an expansive sky. Du Camp's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also the rich heritage that lies within these ancient structures. As we admire this artwork at the Art Institute of Chicago's gallery, it serves as a reminder of our fascination with history and its preservation. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site today, Karnak Temple Complex continues to captivate visitors with its awe-inspiring beauty. Through Du Camp's lens, we are transported across time and space to witness firsthand one of Egypt's most treasured landmarks. This photograph is more than just an art piece; it is an invitation to explore centuries-old civilizations and appreciate their enduring legacy.
