"The Colossi of Memnon, at Thebes, during the Inundation" is a renowned lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts, featured in the first volume of his monumental work, "Egypt and Nubia," published between 1846 and 1849. This lithograph is part of a larger collection that documents Roberts' extensive travels through Egypt and Nubia from 1838 to 1839. His journey was a pivotal moment in the 19th century, as it provided one of the most comprehensive visual records of the ancient monuments and landscapes of the region, capturing the imagination of the European public and contributing significantly to the field of Egyptology.

The lithograph depicts the iconic Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, situated on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor. These statues have stood since the 14th century BCE and are renowned for their grandeur and historical significance. Roberts' illustration is particularly notable for its depiction of the annual inundation of the Nile, which transforms the landscape, surrounding the statues with water and reflecting the cyclical nature of life and agriculture in ancient Egypt.

David Roberts' work is celebrated for its artistic precision and attention to detail, achieved through his collaboration with lithographer Louis Haghe. The lithographs were produced using a process that allowed for rich, textured images, bringing the ancient world to life for contemporary audiences. Roberts' ability to capture the interplay of light and shadow, as well as the scale and majesty of the monuments, has made his works enduringly popular.

"The Colossi of Memnon, at Thebes, during the Inundation" not only serves as a valuable historical document but also as a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient Egypt. Roberts' contributions have left an indelible mark on the artistic and scholarly appreciation of Egypt's ancient heritage, making his works an essential reference for historians, artists, and enthusiasts alike.
