1846
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume I: Wady Maharraka, Nubia is a 1846 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows old stone ruins in a desert landscape. The structure has tall, broken columns and crumbling walls, with sand and sparse grass around it. A few palm trees stand near the right side, and the sky above is light with soft clouds. The artist focused on how ruins look under hot sun and wind. The lines are precise, almost like a sketch, but the shadows add depth. Next, look up Romanticism to see how artists used ruins like this to tell stories.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
