EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Four colossal figures of the king, taken from the Temple of Ramesses II during the New Kingdom era in ancient Egypt. Dating back to approximately 1279-1213 BC, these monumental sculptures are a testament to the grandeur and power of one of Egypt's most revered pharaohs. The image captures these colossal figures seated proudly on their thrones, depicting Ramesses II alongside his beloved queen Nefertari and flanked by two representations of Horus, symbolizing protection and divine kingship. Carved meticulously out of sandstone cliffs in Abu Simbel, Egypt, these statues have withstood the test of time and continue to inspire wonder today. Each figure exudes an air of regality and authority as they overlook their surroundings with serene expressions. The intricate details carved into their garments and headdresses showcase the skillful craftsmanship that was prevalent during this period. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into ancient Egyptian artistry but also serves as a reminder of the rich history that has shaped our world. It is a visual representation that transports us back thousands of years ago when pharaohs ruled over vast empires and gods were worshipped fervently. As we admire this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again why ancient Egyptian art continues to captivate audiences worldwide – its ability to transcend time and connect us with civilizations long gone.
