EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print by Scottish artist and orientalist David Roberts transports us to the ancient city of Thebes in Egypt. Titled "The Statues of Memnon, Thebes, During the Inundations" this artwork beautifully captures a moment during the annual flooding of the Nile River. In this scene, we are presented with the magnificent Colossi near the Valley of the Kings. These colossal statues were built by Amenhotep II, an Egyptian pharaoh who reigned from c. 1411-1375 BC. Standing tall against a backdrop of swirling waters, they exude an aura of grandeur and mystery. Roberts' attention to detail is evident in his delicate brushstrokes that bring life to every element within this composition. From the intricate carvings on these ancient structures to the shimmering reflections on their submerged bases, each aspect is meticulously rendered. Through this artwork, Roberts not only showcases his artistic prowess but also provides us with a glimpse into Egypt's rich history and architectural wonders. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring legacies. As we admire "The Statues of Memnon" through this watercolour print, we can't help but be transported back in time - imagining ourselves standing before these awe-inspiring monuments amidst nature's powerful forces.
