EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Sculptures exterieures du Sanctuaire de granit du Palais de Karnac" (Exterior Sculptures of the Granite Sanctuary of the Palace of Karnak) in Thebes, Egypt. Taken by Maxime du Camp in 1849-50, this photograph captures a moment frozen in time from ancient Egyptian history. The image transports us to the majestic temple complex of Karnak, where we witness Philippe-Aridee skillfully navigating the Barc de Mauth (Boat of Maut), a sacred vessel used for religious processions. The intricately carved sculptures adorning the sanctuary walls come to life through Du Camp's lens, revealing their timeless beauty and artistic mastery. As we delve into this archaeological treasure trove, we are transported back to a bygone era when kings like Ptolemy I Soter ruled over Egypt. Hieroglyphics etched onto stone surfaces tell stories of religion and mythology that have captivated historians for centuries. Du Camp's salted paper print perfectly captures the grandeur and significance of these ancient ruins. This photograph is not just an art form but also serves as a valuable historical document that allows us to appreciate and understand our rich cultural heritage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece invites viewers on an immersive journey through time, reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations long gone.
