Colonnade du Temple du Soleil, a Baalbek (Heliopolis), September 1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Maxime du Camp takes us back to the ancient city of Baalbek in September 1850. The image showcases the magnificent Colonnade du Temple du Soleil, an architectural marvel from ancient Roman times. Standing tall against the backdrop of Lebanon's breathtaking landscape, these pillars bear witness to centuries of history and religious significance. The ruins evoke a sense of awe as they reveal glimpses into a bygone era when this temple was dedicated to the worship of the sun. The composition captures both the grandeur and decay that coexist within archaeological sites like this one. Each pillar tells its own story, weathered by time yet still commanding respect for their enduring beauty. Maxime du Camp's skillful use of photography transports us directly into this historic location, allowing us to appreciate its cultural heritage. Through his lens, we are reminded of our connection with past civilizations and how they have shaped our present world. As we gaze upon this salted paper print at The Metropolitan Museum of Art or any other venue where it is displayed, we cannot help but feel a sense of wonderment at humanity's ability to create such remarkable structures. This photograph serves as an invitation for travelers and history enthusiasts alike to explore Baalbek - a UNESCO World Heritage site - and immerse themselves in its rich tapestry of ancient wonders.
