"Fragments of the Great Colossus at The Memnonium, Thebes" is a captivating lithograph by the renowned Scottish artist David Roberts, featured in the first volume of his monumental work, "Egypt and Nubia." Published between 1846 and 1849, "Egypt and Nubia" is a comprehensive collection of lithographs that vividly depict the landscapes, monuments, and daily life of 19th-century Egypt and Nubia. David Roberts, celebrated for his detailed and romanticized portrayals of the Middle East, embarked on an extensive journey through Egypt and Nubia from 1838 to 1839. His travels were meticulously documented through sketches and notes, which later served as the foundation for his lithographs.

The lithograph "Fragments of the Great Colossus at The Memnonium, Thebes" captures the grandeur and decay of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The Memnonium, also known as the Ramesseum, is a mortuary temple of Pharaoh Ramesses II located in the Theban necropolis, across the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor. The temple complex is renowned for its colossal statues, including the fragmented remains of a massive statue of Ramesses II, which Roberts skillfully illustrates in this work. The lithograph showcases the colossal statue's broken pieces scattered amidst the ruins, evoking a sense of both the monument's former glory and its subsequent decline.

Roberts' artistic approach combines meticulous attention to architectural detail with a romantic sensibility, capturing the awe-inspiring scale and historical significance of the site. His work played a crucial role in popularizing Egyptian antiquities in Europe and contributed to the burgeoning field of Egyptology. The lithographs were produced by Louis Haghe, a master lithographer, whose collaboration with Roberts ensured that the final prints retained the intricate details and atmospheric qualities of the original sketches. "Fragments of the Great Colossus at The Memnonium, Thebes" remains a significant artistic and historical document, offering a window into the 19th-century European fascination with ancient Egypt and its monumental heritage.
