EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Ibsamboul, Colosse Occidental Du Speos De Phre; Nubie, 1849/51, printed 1852" captures the magnificence of an ancient Egyptian site. Taken by Maxime du Camp in the mid-19th century, this image showcases a close-up view of one of the colossal statues at Abu Simbel. Standing proudly against a backdrop of rocky cliffs, the colossus represents Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great. This monumental sculpture is part of a larger rock-cut temple complex called Speos de Phre located in Ibsamboul (now known as Abu Simbel), Nubia. Du Camp's salted paper print beautifully highlights the intricate details carved into the stone figure's face and body. The photograph transports us back to a time when ancient Egypt flourished with its rich cultural heritage and religious significance. This historic artwork holds immense value not only for its artistic merit but also for its documentation of an important archaeological site. It serves as a testament to both Maxime du Camp's skill as a photographer and his dedication to capturing significant moments in history. Displayed within the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery or center around the world, this photograph invites viewers to appreciate and contemplate the grandeur of ancient civilizations while reflecting on their own place within history.
