EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Caravan Surprised by the Samum in Front of the Sphinx" we are transported back to 1849, where artist Johann Jakob Frey skillfully captures a dramatic moment in time. The oil on canvas composition measures 67.5 x 91 cm and showcases Frey's remarkable talent for detail and atmosphere. The scene unfolds against the majestic backdrop of the Sphinx, its ancient allure heightened by the presence of a passing caravan. As if frozen in time, we witness their astonishment as they are caught off guard by an approaching sandstorm known as a Samum. The swirling winds whip up clouds of sand that obscure their path and create an eerie ambiance. Frey's brushstrokes expertly convey both the vulnerability of the travelers and the power of nature. Each figure is meticulously rendered, allowing us to empathize with their fear and uncertainty. Meanwhile, his masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to every grain of sand suspended in mid-air. Signed and dated lower left: J. J. Frey, 1849th, this artwork bears witness to Frey's dedication to his craft during this period. Born in Basel in 1813 and passing away in Frascati at age 52, he left behind a legacy that continues to captivate art enthusiasts today. This Liszt Collection print serves as a testament not only to Frey's artistic prowess but also to our enduring fascination with historical moments frozen on canvas.
