EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Island of Philae in Nubia, Egypt, during the enchanting month of November in 1838. The image beautifully captures a watercolour masterpiece by Scottish artist and orientalist David Roberts (1796-1864). Known for his exceptional talent in depicting ancient civilizations, Roberts transports us to this mystical island that holds immense historical significance. The focal point of the composition is a magnificent temple that stands proudly amidst the ruins. This temple serves as a gateway into Ancient Egypt's rich archaeology, religion, and mythology. Its weathered walls whisper stories of forgotten rituals and mythical tales that have shaped our understanding of this ancient civilization. Roberts' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he expertly brings life to each stone and pillar with vibrant hues. The play between light and shadow adds depth and mystery to the scene, further enhancing its allure. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported through time - standing on the same ground where British explorers once marveled at these wonders centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with history and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our past. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) allows us to bring home a piece of art that not only showcases Robert's artistic prowess but also invites us on an immersive journey into one of Egypt's most treasured sites.
