This is a classic watercolor work created by Scottish painter David Roberts in 1838, depicting the colossal seated Ramesses II statues at the famous ancient Egyptian monument Abu Simbel Temple. The whole temple is directly carved into the Nubian sandstone mountain. The warm yellow tone restores the desert noon sunlight texture, and the tiny scattered tourists highlight the grand scale of the giant statues. This work is an important art historical material recording ancient Egyptian civilization relics, full of profound historical sense and shocking visual impact.
