EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Colossus Memnon" captured by the talented French photographer, Theodule Deveria, in 1865. The colossal statue stands tall and proud against a backdrop of ancient ruins, emanating an aura of mystery and grandeur. The Colossus Memnon is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Egypt. This monumental sculpture represents Amenhotep III, one of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs from the 14th century BC. Standing at an impressive height of over 18 meters (60 feet), it once guarded the entrance to Amenhotep III's mortuary temple on the west bank of the Nile. Deveria's skillful use of albumen silver print brings out every intricate detail and texture in this remarkable artwork. The play between light and shadow adds depth to its weathered surface, revealing centuries-worth of stories etched into its stone. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back in time to an era when these colossal statues were not just symbols of power but also objects that inspired awe and reverence among those who beheld them. It serves as a poignant reminder that even after thousands of years, human creativity endures through art. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate both Deveria's artistic prowess as well as pay homage to ancient civilizations that have left such indelible marks on our world.
