EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the breathtaking "View of Mount Barkal, Sudan" as seen in the mid-19th century. Created by artist E Weidenbach, this print showcases the majestic beauty of Jebel Barkal, a mountain located 400 kilometers north of Khartoum. The historical significance of this location dates back to around c1450 BC when the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III expanded his empire and established Napata, which later became the capital city of the kingdom of Kush. This artwork provides a glimpse into ancient Egypt's influence on this region and its subsequent impact on Nubia and its people. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to the desert landscape surrounding Mount Barkal. The towering mountain range dominates the scene, showcasing its grandeur against a backdrop of vast open spaces. It serves as a reminder of both nature's power and man's ability to create lasting legacies within it. Preserved in the collection of Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris, this artwork is an invaluable piece that offers insight into Africa's rich history and geographical features. Karl Richard Lepsius was among those who recognized its importance as he collected prints like these during his travels.
