Dominique VIVANT DENON & BALTARD (sculpsit)

Voyage dans la Basse et Haute Egypte : Vues et Temples de Tentyris. (Planche 38).

Didot, Paris 1803, 40,5x54cm, une feuille.

Original engraving folio untrimmed, taken from travel in Lower and Upper Egypt Vivant Denon. Board consists of 5 views as described by the author. # 1 Overview of Tentyra, which made known all its monuments, their respective positions, as viewed on reaching the eastern side the eminence formed by the ruins of the city, behind the Libyan chain. The desert reaches the ground that ends the board. Palm trees that can be seen are the latest productions of the last field reached by the flood. # 2 A small monument square-long, four-column front, five deep, to wear an entablature and cornice.; engaged columns up to a third (see map, p. XL, No. 7). This building was never finished; capitals only offer mass in which they were to be worked; isolated it is located right vis-à-vis the door of the great temple. # 3 Another ruined edifice, which, in the general view, to the right of the great temple. Sanctuary is preceded by two major parts covered with bas-reliefs, ceilings decorated with a series of globes adults. The closed portion is surrounded by an open gallery and a peristyle, which we do perceive here a very big gradient (see Map No. 6, Plate XL); outside is very hidden, which makes it difficult to realize the gallery, and it was impossible to have cognizance of the entire column. # 4 A view of the southern part of the temple.; right, in the distance, the little monument No. 2, which is vis-à-vis the large door, against which fupported probably pregnant fermoit that the temple opens the door vis-à-vis the center the portico; it is covered with hieroglyphics inside and outside. The portico is higher than that or nave; an austere simplicity in architecture is enriched with countless hieroglyphic carvings, which however not disturb the beautiful lines: a wide cornice crown majestically throughout the building; a twisted, which seems strapping, adds an aspect of solidity to the slope that exists everywhere, and serves as wheelbase, which removes the thin repeated angles, without removing the precision and firmness of all, since this firm occurs where it must decide, that is to say at the end cornices. Three heads of sphinxes out of the side of the nave or; in form and at the neck which is between their legs are to be believed, that they were gutters through which water is passed seroient we would have paid on the platform of the temple to fine the apartments were built there, because under the ruins of Arab buildings that can still be seen on this monument, I found small private temples, decorated with the most elaborate carvings and more scientific: it is in one of the apartments I've seen and designed the zodiac, and other interesting details, which I will explain in section hieroglyphics. Modern houses, which are still visible ruins, have undoubtedly been built at that elevation of thought to shelter from the incursions of Bedouins, and housing on these monuments as in a fortress, or to s 'away from the burning ground and get air into a higher region. The rest of what has this print is only rubble and cutaway walls of factories built with the latest materials of the ancient city, which, with the exception of temples, was built of brick. The amount as money Roman time of Constantine and Theospineius, found every day rummaging in search of nitre, must believe that Tentyra still existed at that time: I found myself Roman lamps clay, mixed in the rubble with small Egyptian deities in molten glass and porcelain, covered with a blue. # 5 is the portico of the temple turned to.; left, a fragment of the holder; right, the small temple, No. 3; in the background, the Libyan mountains, west of the city. Foxing, otherwise good condition. Published for the first time in two volumes, an atlas of engravings by Didot in 1802, the 'Travel in Upper and Lower Egypt was so successful that it was translated in 1803 into English and German, and a few years later in Dutch and Italian, among others. Almost all boards are designed by Denon, who also etched himself a few, including portraits of the inhabitants of Egypt, who still kept the freshness of sketches taken on the spot (Nos. 104-111 ). Two dozen writers have also collaborated on the creation of which Baltard, Galen, Reville and other etchings. Dominique Vivant, Baron Denon, Vivant Denon said, Givry born January 4, 1747 and died in Paris April 27, 1825, is a writer, writer, diplomat and French administrator. At the invitation of Bonaparte, he joined the expedition to Egypt in shipping from 14 May 1798 on the frigate "La Juno." Protected by French troops, he had the opportunity to travel the country in all directions, to gather the material that was the basis for his artistic work and the most important literary. It supports in particular the General Desaix in Upper Egypt, which he refers to numerous sketches, ink wash and other drawings in pen, black chalk, or chalk. He draws constantly, often on his knee, standing or on horseback, and sometimes even under enemy fire. After a journey of 13 months during which he drew thousands of sketches, Vivant Denon returned to France with Bonaparte, and became the first artist to publish the story of this expedition. The 141 boards that accompany his diary trace its entire journey from the coasts of Corsica to the pharaonic monuments of Upper Egypt. Bonaparte then appointed Director General of the Central Museum of the Republic, which becomes the Napoleon Museum and the Royal Louvre and arts administrator. In 1805, Vivant Denon stimulus project Vendôme column, which had been suspended in 1803. Then organizes expeditions across Europe to raise imperial art objects, which are to be carried looted the Louvre. In 1814, Louis XVIII confirmed as head of the Louvre, one wing of which still bears his name today. It is considered a great precursor of museology, art history and Egyptology. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
