EDITORS COMMENTS
The Temple of Isis on the Island of Philae, captured in this stunning print by John Somerscales, takes us back to the enchanting world of ancient Egypt. Dating from around 1907-10, this watercolor on paper masterpiece showcases the remarkable architecture and serene beauty of one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks. Located on the island of Philae in Lake Nasser, this breathtaking temple complex stands as a testament to the rich history and grandeur of Egyptian civilization. The image transports us to a time when worshippers would have gathered here to pay homage to the goddess Isis, seeking her blessings and protection. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every element into focus - from the intricate carvings adorning the exterior walls to the majestic Kiosk of Trajan standing proudly amidst its surroundings. The ruins themselves tell stories untold, whispering secrets that only time can reveal. As we gaze upon this painting, we are reminded not only of Egypt's architectural marvels but also its enduring legacy. It serves as a reminder that even in ruinous state, these ancient structures continue to inspire awe and wonderment. Displayed at Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK; it is an invaluable piece that allows us a glimpse into a bygone era. Let it transport you back in time as you explore North Africa's captivating landscapes and immerse yourself in Egyptian history.
