EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the ancient wonders of Medinet-Habou, specifically the eastern part of the peristyle in Ramses-Meiamoun's palace. Captured by Maxime du Camp in 1849/51 and printed in 1852, this salted paper print is a testament to both the artistry of photography and the rich history of ancient Egypt. The image showcases a broken building exterior with majestic columns standing tall amidst the ruins. The intricate architecture reflects the grandeur and opulence that once defined this mortuary temple. As we gaze upon these weathered pillars, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at their enduring presence. Medinet-Habou was an important necropolis during Egypt's New Kingdom period, serving as a burial site for pharaohs such as Ramses III. Du Camp's photograph transports us to this sacred location, evoking thoughts about life, death, religion, and our connection to those who came before us. As we contemplate this piece from Heritage Images at the Art Institute Chicago gallery, it serves as a reminder of how art can bridge gaps between centuries and cultures. Through du Camp's lens, we are transported across time and space to witness firsthand one of humanity's most remarkable architectural achievements. This photograph not only captures an ancient Egyptian site but also preserves it for future generations to appreciate its beauty and historical significance. It stands as a testament to both artistic expression through photography and our fascination with preserving cultural heritage.
