Ibsamboul, Sculptures de l'Entrée du Speos de Phre, Nubie, 1849/51
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by Maxime du Camp in 1852. The image showcases the magnificent sculptures adorning the entrance of the Speos de Phre in Ibsamboul, Abu Simbel. This ancient Egyptian site, dating back to the 19th dynasty and dedicated to Ramses II (Ramses the Great), stands as a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of that era. In this black and white composition, du Camp skillfully captures every intricate detail of these historic sculptures carved into rock. The salted paper print technique adds depth and texture to the photograph, enhancing its artistic appeal. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an age when gods and goddesses were revered and religious devotion was paramount. The awe-inspiring deity depicted here exudes power and divinity while surrounded by other figures from ancient Egyptian mythology. It serves as a reminder of Egypt's rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate people worldwide. This photograph not only preserves a moment frozen in time but also highlights Maxime du Camp's talent as both an explorer and photographer. Through his lens, he immortalizes this remarkable monument for future generations to appreciate its historical significance. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's art gallery, "Ibsamboul" remains an iconic piece within their collection—celebrating both Du Camp's contribution to photography as well as Egypt's enduring legacy throughout history.
