About the Artwork

Reproduction of a wall relief from the Great Temple at Abu Simbel dating to the reign of Ramesses II in c. 1250 BC (Dynasty 19).

This relief from the Great Temple of Abu Simbel is one of many scenes in the Great Hypostyle Hall glorifying Ramesses II's military achievements. It shows the king in his chariot being pulled by two horses in full regalia, attacking a fortified town. It likely represents scenes from the Battle of Kadesh, one of the most famous military campaigns in ancient Egypt.
