Krátky popis
Emile Prisse d'Avennes (1807–1879), a French Orientalist, author
and artist, was one of the greatest pre-20th century Egyptologists.
An ardent admirer of the superb skills of Egyptian and Oriental
artisans, he was enamored of Arabic art. As a youth he dreamed of
exploring the Orient, and at 19 began travelling to Greece and
Palestine. Over the next 40 years he explored Syria, Arabia,
Persia, and resided in Egypt and Algeria. Converting to Islam, he
travelled Egypt disguised as an Arab, using the name Edris Effendi.
A student of ancient Egyptian and Islamic cultures, he later wrote:
",We shall discuss all the arts, all the industries cultivated by
Orientals with so much taste, brilliance, and fantasy. We will
present splendid reproductions of the monuments, objects of art and
luxury, which provide evidence of an advanced civilization, the
influence of which has been felt even in Europe.", In 1848/1851
Prisse d'Avennes published his Oriental Album in London (Oriental
Album. Characters, Costumes, and Modes of Life, the Valley of the
Nile). This brilliant collection of 32 chromolithographs
illustrating the people and costumes of the Nile Valley was
accompanied by a commentary by renowned Orientalist and
Egyptologist James Augustus St. John. After again travelling to
North Africa, Prisse d'Avennes returned to France in 1860, bearing
the fruits of his journeys—hundreds of folio drawings, photographs,
sketches, plans and 400 meters of bas-reliefs. Fascinated by the
symmetry, complexity, and opulence of Egyptian and Arabic art, he
drew from this vast collection to create compilations of the finest
examples of art and architecture, which also took into account
historical, social, and religious contexts. In 1877, he published
his outstanding survey on Islamic art and architecture, Arab Art
(L'Art arabe d'apres les monuments du Kaire, 1869–1877), in Paris.
This publication reproduces the three atlas volumes containing 200
plates—137 of them magnificent chromolithographs—mainly by Prisse
d'Avennes. L’Art arabe is an indispensable compendium on the
development of Arabic art, portraying its splendor and diversity,
and a work of supreme draftsmanship.
