EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Vue de Djebel-el-teir et du Convent de la Poulie, 1850" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th-century Egypt. Created by Maxime du Camp, a renowned French photographer and writer, this image showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of both natural beauty and architectural heritage. In this scene, we are transported to a remote desert location where the majestic Djebel-el-teir mountain range dominates the horizon. Nestled at its foothills is the Convent de la Poulie, an ancient nunnery that exudes tranquility amidst the arid surroundings. The monochromatic tones add depth and timelessness to this breathtaking landscape. Du Camp's lens skillfully frames this composition with precision, highlighting every intricate detail of both man-made structures and geographical features. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel the warm breeze flowing from the nearby River Nile as it winds its way through Egypt's historic lands. Preserved in a salted paper print technique popular during that era, this artwork represents not only Du Camp's artistic vision but also serves as a valuable historical document. It offers us a glimpse into Egypt's rich religious heritage while showcasing Du Camp's dedication to capturing cultural landmarks for posterity. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this remarkable piece continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and testament to Maxime du Camp’s contribution to early photography.
