Antonio or Anton Schranz

Antonio Schranz made watercolours of Egyptian and Levantine sites in the 1830s–40s. Slide into The Temple of Isis and Kiosk of Trajan on the Island of Philae to see sun-baked columns rise from the Nile, or step to Luxor’s West Bank where Madinat Habu’s carved walls face the river. Each sheet catches the light on stone and water like a field sketch, no grand theory, just the view as it stood. Want more river scenes? Tap Aswan; looking south up the Nile.
