The Colossi of Memnon, Thebes, Nubia, Egypt, 1887 - A Glimpse into Ancient Majesty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Taken in 1887 by artist Henri Bechard, it showcases the awe-inspiring Colossi of Memnon standing proudly in front of their now-destroyed mortuary temple. These colossal statues were dedicated to Amenhotep III (Amenophis III), a revered pharaoh who reigned between 1417 BC and 1379 BC during the New Kingdom period. Their sheer size and intricate craftsmanship are a testament to the architectural prowess and artistic finesse of that era. As we gaze upon these magnificent stone figures, we can't help but marvel at their regal presence. Seated majestically on thrones with an air of authority, they exude power and sovereignty. These ruins evoke a sense of mystery and wonder as they bear witness to centuries gone by.

They symbolize the enduring legacy left behind by great monarchs like Amenhotep III. Henri Bechard's skillful capture brings this historical treasure closer to our hearts today. Preserved within the collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, this print allows us to appreciate not only its
