EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fragments of the Great Colossi, at the Memnonium" takes us back to the 19th century in ancient Egypt. The artist, David Roberts, skillfully captures a scene from an archaeological site known as the Memnonium. The image showcases two colossal pillars standing tall amidst a burial ground or necropolis. The disrepair and weathered appearance of these fragments evoke a sense of timelessness and mystery. It is as if they hold secrets from centuries past, whispering tales of forgotten civilizations and lost souls. A woman is seen resting on one of the pillars, her presence adding a human element to this ancient landscape. The temple's exterior reflects intricate Egyptian architectural details that were once vibrant with color and religious symbolism. This lithograph transports us to a bygone era when religion played an integral role in everyday life. David Roberts' artistic prowess shines through in his attention to detail and ability to capture both grandeur and decay simultaneously. The collaboration between Roberts and Louis Haghe resulted in this stunning print that has found its place within the esteemed collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our connection to history, mortality, and spirituality – concepts that transcend time itself. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great empires eventually crumble but leave behind remnants for future generations to ponder upon.
