EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Grande Colonnade du Palais d'Amenophis III in Luxor, Thebes. Taken by Maxime du Camp during his archaeological expedition to Egypt in 1849-50, this image showcases the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture. The colossal columns stand tall against the backdrop of a clear sky, showcasing their intricate details and imposing scale. Each pillar tells a story of an ancient civilization that revered religion and built magnificent structures to honor their gods. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor of Luxor Temple. The temple's significance as a religious site is evident through its well-preserved architectural features and its role as a tourist attraction even in the 19th century. Maxime du Camp's skillful use of photography adds depth and contrast to this image, emphasizing both the magnitude of these historical ruins and their timeless beauty. Through his lens, he captured not just a moment frozen in time but also conveyed his admiration for Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this salted paper print serves as a testament to Maxime du Camp's contribution to archaeology and his dedication to preserving our collective history for generations to come.
