1847
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Colossus in Front of the Temple at Wady Saboua, Nubia is a 1847 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a large stone statue of a man in the center. He's wearing a skirt and a necklace, and has a beard. He's standing in front of a building with a doorway. There are several people around him, some sitting and some standing. They're all looking at the statue or each other. The people are wearing simple robes and head coverings. One of them is holding a spear. The statue is much bigger than the people. The background is a light color, which makes the statue and people stand out. The painting is part of a series called "Egypt and Nubia." You might want to look up more about the Romanticism movement next.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
