EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the majestic Temple of Ramesses III in Medinet Habu, capturing its grandeur and historical significance. The photographer, John Beasly Greene, an American born in France during the early 19th century, skillfully immortalized this architectural marvel through his lens. Taken in 1855 using a waxed calotype negative and printed on salted paper, this image showcases Greene's mastery of his craft. The composition is impeccable, highlighting the intricate details of the temple's façade against a backdrop of clear blue skies. The play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to every column and hieroglyphic inscription. Measuring at 22.7 x 29.1 cm (8 15/16 x 11 7/16 inches), this print allows us to appreciate the temple's scale while also revealing its delicate nuances. It serves as a testament to both ancient Egyptian architecture and Greene's artistic vision. The Liszt Collection has preserved this remarkable piece from history for our enjoyment today. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to an era when pharaohs ruled over Egypt with divine authority. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to explore the rich cultural heritage that lies within these ancient walls.
