Bas-reliefs de la façade du Temple de Dendérah (Tentyris) 1849 - 1850

Maxime Du Camp's 1849-1850 photograph, *Bas-reliefs de la façade du Temple de Dendérah (Tentyris)*, captures a detailed view of a bas-relief sculpture on the facade of the Temple of Dendera in Egypt. The photograph depicts three figures, likely deities, seated and engaged in a ritualistic act. The intricate detail of the carvings, the hieroglyphs surrounding the figures, and the overall composition of the scene showcase the mastery of ancient Egyptian art. Du Camp's photograph, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a valuable glimpse into the artistry and religious practices of ancient Egypt.
