EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Hypostyle Hall in Thebes, Karnak, Egypt. Created by artist Himely in 1841, this illustration showcases the intricately carved and decorated pillars that adorn the Great Hypostyle Hall at the temple of Amun-Re. Built during the 14th-13th century BC, these ancient architectural features stand as a testament to Egypt's rich history. The image, part of Panorama d'Egypte et de Nubie collection housed in Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris, is an exquisite example of aquatint and drypoint techniques. It transports us back to a time when worshipers gathered within these sacred walls to pay homage to their gods. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we can almost feel the presence of Amun-Re himself. The towering columns reach towards the heavens as if channeling divine energy into this hallowed space. The ruins surrounding them serve as a reminder of both time's passage and mankind's enduring devotion. Located in Luxor (formerly known as Thebes), Karnak remains one of Egypt's most significant archaeological sites. This print allows us to appreciate not only its historical importance but also its artistic beauty. Through Himely's skilled hand, we are transported across centuries and continents to witness firsthand the magnificence that once was. Let this mesmerizing print be a window into ancient Egyptian culture—a visual portal connecting past and present for all who behold it
