EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Louis Haghe, created in 1849, showcases the awe-inspiring front elevation of the Great Temple of Aboo Simbel in Nubia. The print beautifully captures the grandeur and magnificence of this ancient Egyptian architectural marvel. The temple's colossal figures and intricate hieroglyphics are brought to life through Haghe's skilled craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when pharaohs ruled and their divine presence was etched into every stone. The imposing statues that flank the entrance stand as a testament to the power and authority of Ramesses II, one of Egypt's most celebrated pharaohs. Despite being half-buried by sand over centuries, these statues continue to inspire wonder and admiration. The ruins themselves tell a story of resilience and endurance against the test of time. They serve as a reminder that even great civilizations can crumble but leave behind remnants that speak volumes about their past glory. Haghe's lithograph not only captures the exterior beauty of this ancient temple but also evokes a sense of mystery surrounding its hidden chambers and sacred spaces within. It invites us to explore further into its depths, unraveling secrets from a distant past. As we admire this remarkable piece from David Roberts' collection, let us appreciate both his artistic talent and his dedication to preserving history through his artistry. This print serves as a window into an extraordinary world long gone yet forever immortalized through fine art.
