Artist
Giovanni Battista Belzoni
Giovanni Battista Belzoni is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A bold Italian explorer drew Egypt and Nubia like never before in the 1820 book Plates Illustrative Of The Researches And Operations Of G. Belzoni In Egypt And Nubia. He wasn’t painting with brushes, he used prints to show temples, tombs, and giant statues as he found them. Every page is a first-hand snapshot of places most Europeans had only guessed at.
Want to step inside one of those ancient spaces? Tap the print title to see the huge fallen head of Ramses II he sketched on site.
