EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "City of Tombs, Looking towards Sakkara, Cairo, Egypt, 1863" by Charles Emile de Tournemine takes us back in time to the ancient burial ground of Saqqara. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and landscape that make this site an archaeological treasure. Saqqara served as a burial place for centuries, witnessing royal burials at Giza and later becoming a final resting place for lesser-known individuals until Roman times. This print captures the essence of this historical location with its stunning depiction of ruins amidst the vast desert. The watercolor technique used in this artwork adds depth and color to every detail - from the sand-covered buildings to the majestic temples rising against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. It is evident that Tournemine's skillful brushstrokes bring life to these ancient structures while honoring their religious significance. As we gaze upon this print from the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum in London, we are transported to another era where religion and death intertwined with architectural marvels. The concept behind Saqqara's existence becomes clearer as we appreciate its ruined mausoleums standing tall against time's relentless passage. This print serves as a reminder of Egypt's rich cultural heritage and invites us to explore further into its fascinating history.
