EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Louqsor, Groupe de Colonnes dans le Palais; Thebes, 1849/51, printed 1852" captures a mesmerizing scene from ancient Egypt. Taken by Maxime du Camp, a French photographer and writer, this image is part of the album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie" (1852), showcasing his exploration of these historic regions. In the photograph, we are transported to Luxor Temple in modern-day Luxor as it stood in the mid-19th century. The grandeur of Egyptian architecture is evident through the towering pillars that dominate the frame. These columns belong to the Sun Court within Karnak Temple complex and date back to Amenhotep III's reign during Egypt's New Kingdom period (15th century BC). As we observe this sight frozen in time on a salted paper print plate 26 from du Camp's album, we can't help but marvel at its historical significance. The image allows us to appreciate both the artistry and religious importance attached to these structures. This print serves as a testament to Maxime du Camp's dedication towards documenting important cultural heritage sites across Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries. It now finds its place among countless treasures housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. Through this snapshot captured over a century ago, viewers are invited into an immersive experience where they can witness firsthand one man's journey through time and space – bridging ancient civilizations with our present-day fascination for their enduring legacy.
