EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Dandara. Behind the temple of Hathor was carved the figure of Cleopatra" captured by renowned photographer Quilici, Folco in 1983, we are transported to the mystical land of Egypt. The image showcases an exquisite carving adorning the walls behind the majestic Temple of Hathor in Dandara. As our gaze is drawn towards this remarkable artwork, we are introduced to none other than Cleopatra herself - a legendary queen who left an indelible mark on history. Carved with meticulous detail and precision, her figure stands as a testament to her enduring legacy and influence even centuries after her reign. The composition skillfully captures both the grandeur of the temple's architecture and the intricacy of Cleopatra's depiction. Bathed in soft sunlight filtering through ancient columns, every line etched into stone seems to whisper tales from a bygone era. Quilici's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to this visual narrative. It transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine what life might have been like during Cleopatra's rule - a time when Egypt flourished under her leadership. This photograph serves as not only a stunning piece of art but also as a window into history itself. It invites us to explore Egypt's rich cultural heritage while reminding us that even long-forgotten stories can be revived through artistic expression. Through this snapshot frozen in time, Quilici has created an everlasting tribute that celebrates both Egyptian craftsmanship and one of its most iconic figures – Queen Cleopatra – forever immortalized within these sacred walls at Dandara.
