1846
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume I: Dakke, in Nubia is a 1846 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a group of four people sitting on the ground in front of an old, crumbling temple. The temple has tall, broken pillars and a flat roof, with some walls still standing. The people are dressed in loose robes, and the scene looks dry and sandy. The temple’s ruins stand out against a hazy background, giving the whole image a quiet, distant feel. The artist drew this in 1846 as part of a series about Egypt and Nubia. Next, check out Romanticism to see how this style often focused on ancient or faraway places.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
