1846
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume I: General View of the Ruins of Luxor, From the Nile is a 1846 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a river with three boats. One large sailboat sits near the left, its sails half-raised. A smaller rowboat with two people drifts toward the right. In the background, tall stone columns and crumbling walls line the shore, fading into a hazy sky. The title says this is Luxor, an ancient Egyptian site. The artist drew it from the Nile River, mixing ruins with everyday life. Look up Romanticism to see how artists used history and travel to inspire their work.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
