1847
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Approach to the Fortress of Ibrim, Nubia is a 1847 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a river scene with a large sailboat gliding toward a rocky shore. The boat’s sails are billowing, and a few people are visible on board. In the background, there’s a fortress perched on cliffs, with more boats and figures along the water’s edge. Notice the soft, hazy light wrapping around the landscape—it gives everything a dreamy, distant feel. The artist focused on capturing the quiet mood of the river and the fortress. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
