EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Obelisk at Alexandria, commonly called Cleopatra's Needle" a testament to the grandeur and rich history of Egypt and Nubia. The image, captured by renowned artist David Roberts in the 19th century, transports us back in time to an era when these ancient structures stood tall against the backdrop of bustling cities. The obelisk itself is a marvel of engineering and artistry, its towering presence commanding attention as it reaches towards the heavens. Its weathered surface tells tales of centuries gone by, bearing witness to countless generations that have passed beneath its shadow. Roberts' lithographic technique beautifully captures every intricate detail of this magnificent structure. From the hieroglyphics etched into its sides to the subtle erosion caused by years of exposure to nature's elements, each element comes alive on this print. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded not only of Egypt's historical significance but also of our own connection to humanity's collective past. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity and progress, there is immense value in preserving our cultural heritage. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to bring a piece of history into our homes or workspaces. It invites us to reflect on civilizations long gone while appreciating their enduring legacy through art.
