EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the late 19th century, capturing the haunting beauty of the ruins of the temple of Isis in Egypt. Taken by the talented Zangali Brothers, renowned for their exceptional photography skills during this era, this image is a testament to their artistry. The crumbling remnants of what was once a magnificent structure stand as a silent witness to ancient Egyptian mythology and culture. The temple's grandeur is evident even in its dilapidated state, with intricate carvings and columns still visible amidst the decay. It serves as a poignant reminder of Egypt's rich archaeological heritage. The photographer Leonard de Selva has expertly captured not only the physicality of these ruins but also an intangible sense of doom and mystery that surrounds them. The play between light and shadow adds depth to this composition, enhancing its dramatic impact. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into another world - one where pagan rituals were performed within these sacred walls and where ancient gods were worshipped. This photograph invites us to contemplate our place within history while marveling at humanity's ability to create enduring legacies. Displayed in any space, this evocative artwork will undoubtedly spark curiosity about Egypt's past among all who encounter it.
