EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Gournah, Les Colosses; Thebes, 1849/51, printed 1852" takes us back to the ancient wonders of Egypt. Created by Maxime du Camp, a French photographer and writer, this work is part of his renowned album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie" from 1852. The image showcases two colossal statues known as the Colossi of Memnon in Gournah. These imposing figures once stood guard at the entrance of Amenhotep III's mortuary temple on the west bank of Thebes (modern-day Luxor). Dating back to the 18th dynasty during ancient Egyptian times, these statues have witnessed centuries unfold before them. Du Camp's salted paper print technique beautifully captures every intricate detail and texture of these monumental sculptures. The play between light and shadow adds depth to their weathered faces that have withstood the test of time. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a bygone era when pharaohs ruled over Egypt's vast lands. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared human history but also highlights the remarkable architectural achievements achieved by ancient civilizations. Displayed in an art gallery or museum setting like the Art Institute Chicago where it resides today, this piece invites viewers to contemplate both its artistic value and historical significance. Through Du Camp's lens, we can appreciate how photography can preserve moments frozen in time for generations to come.
