EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive heads of Ramesses II and Hathor/Nefertari on the facade of the Temple of Queen Nefertari. Created during the New Kingdom period around 1250 BC, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Egyptian 19th Dynasty. Located in Abu Simbel, Egypt, this temple is not only dedicated to Queen Nefertari but also pays homage to Hathor of Abshek. Often referred to as the Little Temple or North Temple, it stands as a remarkable example of rock-cut architecture. The intricate carvings and hieroglyphics adorning these colossal statues are awe-inspiring. The attention to detail in capturing Ramesses II's regal features and Hathor/Nefertari's serene beauty is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this photograph by John Bethell, we are transported back in time to an era filled with grandeur and majesty. It serves as a reminder of Egypt's rich history and its enduring legacy in art and architecture. With its vibrant colors preserved through time, this image captures our imagination and invites us into a world where pharaohs ruled with authority and deities were worshipped with reverence. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate these ancient wonders from afar while honoring their cultural significance.
