This picture hung directly over Sigmund Freud’s famous psychoanalytic couch in Vienna. It represents a temple façade which was first discovered by Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1813. Four colossal statues of Ramses II flank an engraving of the falcon-headed Ra-Harakhte. Above it is a frieze depicting 22 baboons worshipping the rising sun. The temple was carved directly into the rock.
