Temple of Ramesses II, Abu Simbel, c. 1860s. Creator: Antonio Beato (British, c. 1825-1903)
Temple of Ramesses II, Abu Simbel, c. 1860s. Du Camp was the first photographer to depict the marvels of ancient Egypt. In 1849 a scholarly association commissioned the young writer to document Egyptian monuments and their hieroglyphics. He learned to photograph shortly before embarking for Egypt in the company of the young novelist Gustave Flaubert. In 1852 Du Camp published an album of photographs of Egypt, Nubia, Palestine, and Syria, which brought him widespread recognition. Just as Du Camp followed in the footsteps of earlier painters and scholars, later photographers like Beato often echoed his choices of subject matter

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the awe-inspiring Temple of Ramesses II in Abu Simbel, captured by the talented photographer Antonio Beato in the 1860s. The temple stands as a testament to ancient Egypt's architectural marvels and rich history. Before Beato, it was Maxime Du Camp who pioneered photographing the wonders of ancient Egypt. In 1849, he was commissioned by a scholarly association to document Egyptian monuments and hieroglyphics. Accompanied by Gustave Flaubert, Du Camp embarked on this remarkable journey and learned photography just before his departure. In 1852, Du Camp published an album featuring photographs of Egypt, Nubia, Palestine, and Syria. This publication brought him widespread recognition for his meticulous documentation of these historic sites. Later photographers like Beato were inspired by Du Camp's choices of subject matter. Beato's photograph captures the grandeur and intricate details of the Temple of Ramesses II with precision. The composition highlights its imposing facade adorned with colossal statues that guard its entrance. The play between light and shadow adds depth to every intricately carved surface. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Art/Heritage Images at The Cleveland Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of ancient Egypt's most magnificent structures. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared human heritage but also pays homage to those early pioneers who dedicated themselves to preserving these cultural treasures through their artistry behind the lens.
