EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Colossi of Amenophis III and the Colossus of Memnon. Captured by an English photographer, this image transports us back to ancient Egypt, where these monumental statues once stood proudly in all their grandeur. The colossal figures of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, dating back to the 18th Dynasty, are a testament to the power and opulence of Egyptian civilization. Despite being ruins now, they still emanate a sense of majesty as they sit silently amidst the desert landscape. The photograph beautifully captures the remains of these seated pharaohs, highlighting their intricate sculptural details that have withstood centuries of time. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both their size and significance. Located in Theban Necropolis near Luxor, these iconic monuments were a symbol of divine rulership during ancient times. Visitors from around the world would marvel at their sheer magnitude and pay homage to these legendary pharaohs. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from the 20th century, we cannot help but be transported back in time. It serves as a reminder that even though civilizations may rise and fall, their legacy lives on through art and photography like this stunning piece captured by Bridgeman Images.
