"Ale the Attendant of the Sacred Ibis in the Temple of Isis" is a painting by the British artist Edwin Longsden Long (1829–1891). Renowned for his historical and orientalist themes, Long was a prominent painter of the Victorian era who meticulously researched his subjects to ensure historical accuracy in his works. This particular painting reflects Long's fascination with ancient Egyptian culture and religion, a common interest in 19th-century England, partly fueled by the era's archaeological discoveries.

The artwork depicts Ale, a fictional attendant, in the temple of the goddess Isis, one of the principal deities of the Egyptian pantheon, known as the goddess of magic, fertility, motherhood, and death. The sacred ibis, a bird venerated in ancient Egypt and associated with Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing, is also featured prominently in the painting. Long's portrayal of Ale and the ibis within the temple setting is a testament to his commitment to capturing the essence of the period, with attention paid to the architectural details, the attendant's attire, and the ritualistic significance of the ibis.

While the painting is a work of imagination, it is grounded in the historical and cultural context of ancient Egypt, as interpreted through the lens of Victorian England. Long's work contributes to the 19th-century European orientalist art movement, which often romanticized and exoticized Eastern cultures. "Ale the Attendant of the Sacred Ibis in the Temple of Isis" is a prime example of Long's contribution to this genre, offering a window into the past through the detailed and evocative representation of a bygone civilization.

The painting is part of Long's broader body of work that explores similar themes and demonstrates his skill in combining historical research with artistic creativity. It continues to be of interest to art historians and enthusiasts of Victorian art, as well as those fascinated by the cultural intersections between ancient civilizations and 19th-century interpretations of them.
