Created in 1838 by David Roberts, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent in watercolor and gouache over graphite. The image transports us to the heart of Karnak, where we are immersed in the awe-inspiring presence of towering columns adorned with intricate hieroglyphs. The colossal scale of these ruins evokes a sense of reverence for the craftsmanship and engineering prowess of the Egyptians. Built under Seti I's reign, this temple complex holds historical significance as it symbolizes both religious devotion and political power during Egypt's New Kingdom era. The inscriptions on the northern wing by Seti I and decorations completed by Ramesses II on the southern wing further emphasize its cultural importance. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past – whispers of prayers offered by devoted worshippers or footsteps echoing through time as curious tourists explore this archaeological wonder. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with ancient civilizations. This piece now resides at Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection in the USA.
