EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of Ramesses II, offering a side view that reveals its intricate details and grandeur. Created during the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt, specifically between 1290-1224 BC, this remarkable piece is carved out of diorite, a dark and durable stone. Standing at an impressive height of 259 cm, this statue depicts Ramesses II, also known as Ramses the Great or Ozymandias. As one of Egypt's most renowned pharaohs from the 19th Dynasty (c. 1292-1187 BC), he ruled with power and authority for over six decades. The seated king is depicted wearing the traditional nemes headdress adorned with royal uraeus serpents on his forehead. The hieroglyphic inscriptions on his lap provide further insight into his reign and accomplishments. Displayed proudly at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this masterpiece captivates viewers with its sheer size and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to both Egyptian craftsmanship and Ramesses II's legacy as a powerful ruler who left an indelible mark on history. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured every intricate detail in this photograph without any commercial intentions. This image allows art enthusiasts around the world to appreciate the beauty of ancient Egyptian artistry while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
