EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the majestic beauty of the Great Temple in Karnac, Egypt. The artist behind this masterpiece is George Moore, who skillfully carved and decorated pillars in the Great Hypostyle Hall at the temple of Amun-Re. Built centuries ago during the New Kingdom era (14th-13th century BC), these pillars stand as a testament to ancient Egyptian architecture and religious devotion. The lithograph from Views on the Nile: from Cairo to the Second Cataract showcases Moore's talent, utilizing sketches taken by Owen Jones and Jules Goury in 1832 and 1833. The vibrant colors bring life to this archaeological site, highlighting every intricate detail of each column that once stood tall. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where worshipers gathered within these ruins to pay homage to their gods. The Great Temple served as a sacred place for religious ceremonies dedicated to Amun, an important deity in Egyptian mythology. Located in Luxor's city of Karnak (formerly known as Thebes), these ruins hold immense historical significance. They remind us of Egypt's rich cultural heritage and its contributions to art and architecture throughout history. This print serves as a window into ancient times, allowing us to appreciate both George Moore's artistic prowess and Egypt's enduring legacy.
