EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Kalabscheh, Sculptures De La Facade Posterieure Du Temple; Nubie, 1849/51" captures the timeless beauty of ancient Egyptian art and architecture. Taken by Maxime du Camp in the mid-19th century, this image showcases a stunning relief carving on the back facade of the Temple of Kalabsha. The intricate details of the sculpture come to life through the salted paper print technique used by du Camp. Every line and curve tells a story from Egypt's rich history, transporting viewers back to a time when pharaohs ruled and gods were worshipped. Standing against the backdrop of Nubia's breathtaking landscape, this temple is not only an architectural marvel but also a testament to human creativity and devotion. The figure depicted in the relief adds a sense of scale, emphasizing both its grandeur and significance. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of our connection to ancient civilizations that have shaped our world. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human existence – transcending time and place. This image can be found in plate 91 from du Camp's album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie" which was printed in 1852. Its presence at the Art Institute Chicago allows visitors to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical importance. Through this photograph, Maxime du Camp invites us on a journey through time – inviting us to explore ancient Egypt with fresh eyes.
