"Die Memnonkolosse Im Sandsturm" (The Colossi of Memnon in a Sandstorm) is a notable painting by the German symbolist painter Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach (1851–1913). Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, this work reflects Diefenbach's fascination with the ancient world and his penchant for imbuing his art with philosophical and spiritual themes. The painting depicts the famous Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, located in the Theban Necropolis, near modern-day Luxor in Egypt. These statues have stood for millennia and are named after Memnon, a hero of the Trojan War, who was said to be the son of Eos, the goddess of dawn.

In Diefenbach's rendition, the colossal figures are enveloped by the swirling sands of a desert storm, symbolizing the relentless passage of time and the impermanence of human endeavors in contrast to the enduring qualities of nature and the divine. The dramatic interplay of light and shadow in the painting emphasizes the mystical and transient atmosphere, a characteristic feature of Diefenbach's work. As a pacifist, vegetarian, and naturist, Diefenbach often explored themes of harmony and the relationship between humans and the natural world, which are evident in the composition and mood of this painting.

"Die Memnonkolosse Im Sandsturm" is a testament to Diefenbach's skill as a painter and his commitment to a personal vision that combined art, religion, and philosophy. His work prefigured some aspects of the Expressionist movement and influenced other artists, including his student Gusto Gräser. Diefenbach's paintings are held in various public and private collections, and his legacy is preserved in part through the Museum Giersch in Frankfurt am Main, which has hosted exhibitions of his work. The painting serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of human achievements and the enduring power of art to capture and communicate profound existential themes.
