EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Colossal statue of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel, taken in 1850 by Maxime Du Camp. The photograph, now part of a private collection, beautifully captures the grandeur and magnificence of this ancient Egyptian sculpture. Du Camp cleverly includes his servant in the frame to provide a sense of scale, emphasizing just how massive this statue truly is. Standing tall against the backdrop of time, Ramesses II's imposing figure commands attention with its intricate details and regal presence. The Stapleton Collection proudly houses this remarkable piece that represents the New Kingdom era and the power of pharaohs during Egypt's history. Adorned with an uraeus headdress and nemes headpiece, Ramesses II symbolizes strength and authority as a ruler from the 19th dynasty. Through photography, Du Camp immortalizes this monumental artwork for future generations to appreciate. His skillful composition allows us to marvel at every sculptural feature captured in stunning monochrome tones. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the artistic prowess that defined ancient Egypt. This photograph serves as a testament to both human creativity and our enduring fascination with history's greatest achievements.
