EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Karnak, Egypt. The image showcases a magnificent column from the "promenoir" in Karnak's eastern section, which belongs to the grand Temple of Amun. Created by an unknown artist in 1928, this papyrus composite column with its intricate bud capital is a true testament to the remarkable architectural achievements of ancient Egyptians. The column itself dates back even further, originating between 1501-1448 B. C. , during the reign of Pharaoh Tethmosis III. It was meticulously captured by Achille Constant Théodore Emile Prisse d'Avennes and featured as Plate III, fig 5 in his renowned book "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" accompanied by explanatory text written by Helmuth Bossert. As we admire this archaeological marvel through Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. 's lithograph reproduction, we are transported into a world where artistry meets functionality. The decorative design on this column reflects both Egyptian culture and their mastery over interior decoration. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into Egypt's rich history and artistic heritage. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed, these timeless creations continue to inspire awe and admiration for those fortunate enough to witness them firsthand or through such exquisite prints like this one from Heritage Images.
