EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the colossal statue of Rameses I in its original location in Memphis, Egypt during the 13th century BC. Rameses I, the esteemed founder of the 19th Dynasty in Ancient Egypt, may have had a brief reign from 1292 until 1290 BC, but his legacy would be carried forward by his son and grandson, Seti I and Rameses II respectively. The image captures the grandeur and magnificence of this ancient sculpture made entirely out of limestone. Its sheer size is awe-inspiring as it stands tall against the backdrop of other buildings and people nearby. The intricate details on this regal male figure reflect the skilled craftsmanship that prevailed during this era.
