EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to 19th century Egypt, specifically Alexandria. The image showcases the magnificent granite pillars of the portico of Canopus, a sight that exudes grandeur and architectural brilliance. Engraved by Luigi Mayer in 1804, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of ancient Egyptian history. In the foreground, we see a medium group of people going about their daily activities against the backdrop of these impressive columns. A donkey and horse add an element of charm and authenticity to the scene as they peacefully coexist with humans amidst this architectural marvel. The engraving's horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate both the intricate details of the building exterior and its surrounding environment. The warm daylight casts a soft glow on everything it touches, enhancing our visual experience. As we gaze upon this old ruin brought to life through artistry, we are reminded not only of Egypt's rich cultural heritage but also its deep connection with animals as working companions. This illustration effortlessly combines animal themes with human civilization, showcasing how they harmoniously existed side by side during that era. Luigi Mayer's fine art painting transports us into another world altogether – one where ancient wonders stand tall and majestic while everyday life carries on around them. It is an exquisite piece that invites contemplation and appreciation for both historical architecture and artistic mastery.
