EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring "Siege du colosse monolithe d Amenophis III, a Thebes" by Maxime du Camp. Taken in 1849-50, this stunning image showcases the intricate details of the sculptures surrounding the colossal statue of Amenophis III in ancient Egypt. The photograph transports us back to a time when archaeological exploration was at its peak. Du Camp's expertise in capturing historical sites is evident as he beautifully frames the imposing Colossus of Memnon against the backdrop of Luxor al Uqsur. The carved stone statues stand tall, their weathered surfaces telling tales of an ancient civilization that once thrived here. Du Camp's mastery lies not only in his composition but also in his use of photography. The absence of color allows us to focus on every intricacy etched into these magnificent structures. It evokes a sense of timelessness, reminding us that these relics have withstood centuries and continue to captivate our imagination. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Maxime du Camp's collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported to another era - one filled with mystery and wonder. This photograph serves as a testament to both Du Camp's artistic vision and his dedication to preserving our shared cultural heritage through his lens.
