Artist's Description
Detail of a colossal statue of Rameses II which once stood outside the southern gate of the temple of Ptah at the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis (modern Mit Rihana, southwest of Cairo, and across the river Nile). Although the feet and lower legs are missing, the 10 meter statue is a masterpiece carved in Egyptian alabaster. Its twin was carved in granite and, for many years, stood outside Cairo station, though it is now to be a centerpiece of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza. Both statues would have been brightly painted mostly in red, yellow, and black.
About Nigel Fletcher-Jones
I am currently based in Tuscany, Italy and Cairo, Egypt, having previously lived in the US, Netherlands and Britain. Trained in the UK as an archaeologist and anthropologist, most of my images reflect my continuing fascination with the prehistoric and historic past. Images of non-European cultures and historic landscapes also play a large part in my work. My love of the past is also often reflected in the presentation of my images - which often mimics historical styles of representation from faux prints to postcards and antique photographs.
