Painting Description
"Temple of Ramesses II (1279-13 BC) Abu Simbel, Egypt, plate 4" is an illustration from the work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" by Giulio Ferrario, which was illustrated by various artists including G. Bramati. The work, originally published in the early 19th century, is a comprehensive study of the costumes and customs of different peoples throughout history. The specific plate in question depicts the Great Temple of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel, one of the most significant archaeological sites in Egypt, carved out of a mountainside in the 13th century BC.
The illustration is part of Ferrario's broader effort to document the cultural heritage of various civilizations, and it provides a visual representation of one of ancient Egypt's most iconic monuments. The temple, dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, as well as to the deified Ramesses himself, is renowned for its colossal statues of the pharaoh and the intricate carvings that adorn its interior.
As an artistic representation of the temple, the plate serves as a historical record of the site as it was understood in the early 1800s. It reflects the fascination with Egyptology that was prevalent during that era, a time when European scholars and artists were avidly studying and documenting the art, architecture, and customs of ancient Egypt. The illustration is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the dissemination of knowledge about Egyptian heritage during a period when such information was eagerly sought after by the European public.
The "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" is an important source for historians and art historians alike, as it provides insights into the early stages of Egyptology and the ways in which ancient Egyptian culture was perceived and interpreted by 19th-century European scholars. The Temple of Ramesses II illustration by G. Bramati, as part of this work, is a valuable artifact of this scholarly and artistic endeavor.
