EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Statues of Memnon, also known as the Colosses of Memnon, during a momentous flood in Thebes. Taken from "The Holy Land" publication in London 1849 by David Roberts, this image captures the grandeur and majesty of these ancient Egyptian statues. Standing tall amidst the rising waters, the colossal figures command attention with their sheer size and intricate details. These statues were originally built to guard Amenhotep III's mortuary temple and have since become iconic symbols of ancient Egypt. The inundation depicted in this photograph adds an element of drama and mystique to the scene. As if emerging from the depths, these statues seem to come alive against the backdrop of swirling waters. The play between light and shadow further enhances their ethereal presence. Leonard de Selva's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance of these magnificent sculptures. From their weathered surfaces to their enigmatic expressions, each detail tells a story that spans centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to an era when gods and pharaohs ruled over this land. It serves as a reminder not only of Egypt's rich history but also its enduring allure for explorers and artists alike. In Leonard de Selva's hands, this print becomes more than just a visual representation; it becomes a gateway into another world - one filled with wonder, mystery, and timeless beauty.
