La Gran Esfinge by Laura Arnau
My favorite
work of art is La Gran Esfinge de Guiza.
It is a
monumental sculpture located at the West Bank of the River Nile, in the city of
Guiza.
La Gran
Esfinge was formed carving out a limestone hill situated on the plateau of
Guiza. It has a height of some twenty meters, measuring the face over five
meters. The head could represent Khefren Pharaoh, keeping the body the shape of
a lion.
In the 20th
century have been carried out restoration Works consolidation of the coating in
1925, with unsatisfying results by the techniques and materials used, with interventions
later in 1980 and 1992.
