ANTONIO BEATO (1835-1906) Temple of Karnak, ca. 1875 Albumen print, mounted on card 25.5 x 37 cm Note: A photographer active in Egypt in the second half of the XIXᵉ century, Antonio Beato belonged to the pioneering generation of Orientalist photography. Based in Cairo, he developed a body of work that was widely distributed to Western travelers, helping to shape the visual imagination of the Orient. This view of the Karnak temple highlights the monumentality of the site and the rigorous framing characteristic of his compositions. This albumen print, preserved in its original mount, illustrates the technical quality and documentary vocation of these images, which were destined for international distribution.
