EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic moment of Rameses II at the Battle of Kadesh, a significant event in ancient history. Created by Bigant and Allais, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of this 19th-century depiction. Rameses II, also known as Rameses the Great, was an esteemed Egyptian pharaoh who engaged in a fierce battle against the Hittites under Muwatallis in Syria. The image portrays Rameses leading his army into combat with great determination and valor. While Egyptian records often portray Rameses as victorious, historians widely agree that the actual outcome of the Battle of Kadesh remains inconclusive. This discrepancy between historical accounts and artistic propaganda adds intrigue to this powerful image. The scene is set amidst towering city walls and fortifications, emphasizing both strength and vulnerability. Chariots charging forward with horses drawing them symbolize swift movement on the battlefield. Archers skillfully aim their bows and arrows towards their enemies while soldiers bravely fight for their sovereign king. Taken from a wall painting found at Abu Simbel's Temple of Ramesses II in Egypt, this photograph print transports us back to ancient times. It offers a glimpse into religious beliefs, royal power dynamics, and military strategies prevalent during that era. As we admire this stunning piece of artistry from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, let it serve as a reminder of our fascination with history's grandeur and its ability to captivate our imagination across centuries.
