Colossal granite head of King Amenhotep III, from Karnak (Thebes), Egypt, about 1370 BC. King Amenhotep III commissioned numerous statues of himself, especially for his temples in Thebes, then Egypt's capital. His peaceful reign was a time of opulence and outstanding artistic refinement, often displayed on a grand and ambitious scale. The complete sculpture showed him striding. This and a slightly smaller colossus flanked a doorway in the temple of Mut in Karnak. The head of the second statue is also in the British Museum, but the bodies remain in Karnak. A century later the facial features were reworked for King Ramesses II to match his own official 'portrait'. Ramesses appropriated countless statues of royal predecessors
