The Ramesseum, Thebes is a 1869 by Adolphe Braun, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This photo shows a ruined stone temple with six tall columns standing in a row. The ground is rocky and scattered with broken blocks. In the middle, a person sits near a round stone slab, and sheep graze nearby. The sky is pale, and a distant shape—maybe another temple—appears on the horizon. The temple looks old, with some columns missing parts. The photo was taken in 1869, when ruins like this fascinated travelers.
