EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent ruins of the frieze and sculpted lion from the Temple of Jupiter, also known as the Temple of the Sun, in Baalbek, Lebanon. The image takes us back to ancient Heliopolis, where this archaeological zone once stood as a testament to an extraordinary civilization. Dating back to approximately 150-210 AD during the Antonine Period and Imperial Period of Roman Art in Europe, this artwork captures a moment frozen in time. The photographer expertly frames the remnants of this religious structure with precision and artistry. The temple's grandeur is evident even through its ruins. The column fragments stand tall against a backdrop of history, while intricate brackets hint at their former glory. Every detail tells a story - from low relief work adorning walls to high relief sculptures depicting scenes that were once revered by non-Christian worshippers. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1930, we are transported into an era when ancient civilizations thrived. It serves as a reminder that these architectural wonders have endured centuries of change and upheaval. Manoug's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance of these archaeological discoveries. This print invites us on a journey through time, urging us to contemplate our place within human history and marvel at what has come before us. In preserving moments like these for future generations, Manoug pays homage to both artistic expression and historical preservation – reminding us all that some treasures can never truly be lost or forgotten.
