EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Gournah, Tombeau d Osymandias; Thebes, 1849/51, printed 1852" captures the essence of ancient Egyptian architecture and art. Taken by Maxime du Camp in the mid-19th century, this salted paper print showcases plate 58 from his renowned album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie" (1852). The image transports us to a bygone era as we gaze upon the mausoleum known as Gournah or the Tomb of Ozymandias. Located in Thebes, Upper Egypt's historic necropolis region, this burial site belongs to Ramses II - also known as Ramesses the Great - who reigned during the 19th dynasty. Du Camp's photography beautifully captures the intricate details of this mortuary temple dedicated to Rameses II. The grandeur and majesty of ancient Egyptian religious structures are evident in every line and curve depicted here. As we contemplate this photograph's significance within our cultural heritage, it serves as a reminder of Egypt's rich history and its profound influence on art throughout centuries. Du Camp's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also their spiritual importance. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago gallery with utmost reverence for preservation purposes since its printing in 1852 until today; it stands as a testament to both Maxime du Camp's artistic vision and his dedication to documenting Egypt's remarkable past through photography.
