EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Colossi of Memnon at Daybreak" takes us back in time to ancient Egypt. The image, captured by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases the awe-inspiring Colossi of Memnon against a backdrop of a breathtaking sunrise. Standing tall and proud, these colossal statues depict Pharaoh Amenhotep III and were originally erected over 3,000 years ago on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor. Despite centuries of wear and tear from natural elements and human intervention, their grandeur remains intact. The photograph is sourced from a book published in 1923 that offers a popular account of Egypt's rich history from both travelers' and economists' perspectives. It serves as a vivid reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by this ancient civilization. The composition beautifully captures the intricate details carved into these monumental sculptures - symbols of power, artistry, and religious devotion. The warm hues cast by the rising sun further enhance their magnificence against the desert landscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported to an era long gone but forever etched in our collective memory. It reminds us not only of Egypt's glorious past but also invites contemplation about humanity's ability to create lasting wonders that transcend time itself.
