EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Abou Sembil, Grand Speos - Statues Colossales in Abu Simbel, Egypt. Taken by French photographer Felix Teynard in 1851-52 and printed in 1853-54, this image showcases the monumental statues from a three-quarter view. The photograph transports us to ancient Egypt, where we witness the awe-inspiring architecture and artistry of this archaeological site. The temple of Abu Simbel is renowned for its colossal sculptures depicting Ramses II, also known as Ramesses the Great or Ozymandias. These larger-than-life statues stand tall against the backdrop of a vast landscape. Teynard's skillful use of photography enhances the dramatic effect of these imposing figures. The salted paper print technique adds depth to every detail captured by his lens. As we gaze upon this artwork from another era, we are reminded of Egypt's rich cultural heritage and religious significance. The temple served as a place for worship during ancient times and continues to be revered today. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only Teynard's artistic vision but also the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations long gone. It serves as a testament to our collective fascination with history and our desire to preserve it through art.
