Southern Portion of the Rock-cut Temple of Hathor, Abu Simbel, 1850. Creator: Maxime Du Camp
Southern Portion of the Rock-cut Temple of Hathor, Abu Simbel, 1850. Du Camp was the first photographer to depict the marvels of ancient Egypt. In 1849 a scholarly association commissioned the young writer to document Egyptian monuments and their hieroglyphics. He learned to photograph shortly before embarking for Egypt in the company of the young novelist Gustave Flaubert. In 1852 Du Camp published an album of photographs of Egypt, Nubia, Palestine, and Syria, which brought him widespread recognition. Just as Du Camp followed in the footsteps of earlier painters and scholars, later photographers like Beato often echoed his choices of subject matter

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Southern Portion of the Rock-cut Temple of Hathor in Abu Simbel, Egypt. Taken in 1850 by Maxime Du Camp, a pioneer in ancient Egyptian photography, this image showcases his remarkable ability to depict the marvels of this ancient civilization. Du Camp's journey to Egypt was commissioned by a scholarly association in 1849, with the task of documenting Egyptian monuments and their hieroglyphics. Accompanied by Gustave Flaubert, a young novelist at that time, Du Camp learned photography shortly before embarking on this adventure. In 1852, Du Camp published an album featuring photographs from his expedition across Egypt, Nubia, Palestine, and Syria. This publication brought him widespread recognition for his exceptional work. His choices of subject matter influenced later photographers like Beato who followed in his footsteps. Using the blanquart évrard process and salted paper print from calotype negative techniques popular during that era, Du Camp successfully captured every intricate detail of this magnificent temple. The result is a visually striking photograph that transports viewers back to ancient times. Preserved meticulously by Heritage Art/Heritage Images and now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance of these ancient structures that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
