Egyptian Art

"Prisse d'Avennes was really the first artist to be interested in all facets of Egyptian art and history: the ruins of the pharaohs and the later Greco-Roman rulers, the Islamic monuments, and the flora and fauna of this rich and ancient land. His fascination led him to create a remarkable body of work on Egyptian art. The color plates in his ""History of Egyptian Art"" have influenced untold numbers of painters, sculptors, architects, and writers through the ages, and continue to exercise a powerful hold on the imaginations of modern artists."D'Avennes, Prisse is the author of 'Egyptian Art' with ISBN 9782914199315 and ISBN 2914199317.
