1847
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Egypt and Nubia, Volume II: Medinet Abou, Thebes is a 1847 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a ruined temple with tall, broken columns lying on the ground. The walls have carvings, but parts are missing or damaged. Sunlight hits some columns, making shadows stretch across the sandy floor. The artist focused on how ancient buildings look after years of wear. The title at the bottom says it’s from *Medinet Abou, Thebes*—a real place in Egypt. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this work in person.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
