EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing ancient ruins of Kom-Ombou (Ombos) in Egypt. Taken by French photographer Felix Teynard in 1851-52 and printed in 1853-54, this image showcases the architectural marvels that have withstood the test of time. The viewer is transported to a bygone era as they witness the grandeur of these archaeological remains. The pillars stand tall against the sandy landscape, telling stories of a civilization long gone. Each column holds secrets within its weathered stones, whispering tales of religious rituals and cultural practices. Kom-Ombou's ruined temple serves as a testament to Egypt's rich heritage and artistic prowess. Despite being buried under layers of history, it continues to captivate visitors from around the world who come seeking glimpses into ancient Egyptian life. Teynard's skillful use of photography adds an air of mystery to this scene. The absence of color allows viewers to focus on intricate details like textures and patterns carved into each stone surface. As we gaze upon this print at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded not only of our fascination with archaeology but also our innate desire to explore new lands steeped in history. This photograph stands as a timeless reminder that even amidst ruins, there is beauty waiting to be discovered for those willing to venture into the past.
