EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Colossal statue of Pharaoh Thutmosis III, which was later repurposed by Ramses II. Located inside the magnificent Temple of Amon-Ra in Karnak, Egypt, this remarkable work of art is a testament to the grandeur and power of ancient Egyptian civilization. Dating back to the Eighteenth Dynasty during the New Kingdom era, this colossal statue stands as a symbol of strength and authority. The attention to detail is impeccable, with every aspect meticulously crafted - from the headdress that signifies civilian, military, and religious roles to the intricate fashion and clothing adorning both male and female figures. The pharaoh's regal presence is palpable as he proudly wears his crown adorned with emblems and insignias representing society and politics. Holding a sceptre in one hand while clutching noble possessions in another, this depiction exudes nobility and prestige. Notably, Ramses II left his mark on history by affixing his own cartouche onto this monumental artwork. This act serves as a testament to his reign's significance within Egyptian mythology and pays homage to famous personalities who came before him. Photographed around 1970 by Pietro Ronchetti for Alinari, this image captures not only an extraordinary piece of ancient Egyptian art but also offers us a glimpse into Africa's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us how civilizations like these shaped our world today through their artistic prowess and societal contributions. As we admire this photograph print today, we are transported back thousands of years ago when pharaohs ruled over vast kingdoms with divine authority. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation; it still holds immense power to captivate our imagination.
