EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the ancient city of Thebes, now known as Luxor, Egypt. Taken on February 1st, 1959 by the talented photographer Giorgio Brunner, it showcases a mesmerizing view of the Columns in the Valley of the Kings. As our eyes wander through this image, we are immediately struck by the grandeur and majesty of these towering columns. Each one stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a breathtaking landscape valley. These columns serve as silent witnesses to centuries of history and countless stories that unfolded within their vicinity. The Valley of the Kings holds immense significance for archeologists and historians alike. It is an archaeological treasure trove filled with remarkable sites, excavations, monuments, and complexes that continue to captivate our imagination even today. This particular print captures not only its historical importance but also its sheer beauty. Brunner's expert composition allows us to appreciate both the intricacy of each individual column while simultaneously showcasing their collective impact on this vast landscape. The play between light and shadow adds depth to this already awe-inspiring scene. Looking at this photograph evokes a sense of wonderment about what lies beyond those columns - hidden tombs holding secrets from ancient times waiting to be discovered. It reminds us that there is so much more beneath the surface than meets the eye. In preserving this moment frozen in time through his lens, Brunner has given us an opportunity to connect with history in a profound way. This print serves as a testament not only to his skill as a photographer but also as a reminder that some things truly stand timeless amidst ever-changing landscapes
