1846
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Edfou is a 1846 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a ruined temple with tall, fluted columns and carvings on the walls. The columns have ornate tops, and the stonework looks weathered. Two small figures stand near the entrance, giving a sense of scale to the massive ruins. The artist focused on the details of ancient Egyptian architecture, capturing the carvings and shapes carefully. This kind of precise drawing was common in the 1800s when artists traveled to document faraway places. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
