EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the majestic Temple of Edfu in Upper Egypt. Captured by David Roberts in 1846, this artwork showcases the breathtaking view from under the portico of the temple. The use of watercolor and gouache over graphite on paper adds a touch of vibrancy and depth to this already mesmerizing scene. The Temple of Edfu, built between 237 BCE to 57 BCE, stands as a testament to ancient Egyptian architecture and engineering prowess. Its grand columns tower above, creating an awe-inspiring sight that is beautifully captured in this print. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel the weight of history surrounding us. Intriguingly, amidst these magnificent ruins, figures can be seen seated beneath one of the colossal columns. These individuals add a sense of scale and perspective to the photograph while also reminding us that even centuries later, people continue to be drawn to these remarkable remnants. This image not only captures the beauty and grandeur of ancient Egypt but also serves as a reminder of our shared human history. It invites us to explore North Africa's rich cultural heritage and marvel at its enduring legacy. Thanks to Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection for preserving this extraordinary piece for all art enthusiasts around the world
