Description: Travels in Upper and Lower Egypt by Vivant Denon, Arthur Aikin Vivant Denon (1747–1825), a dilettante and diplomat under the Ancien Régime, survived the Revolution and accompanied Napoleons army to Egypt. The publication in 1802 of this lively, illustrated three-volume account (translated a year later) is regarded as the chief stimulus for the so-called Egyptian Revival style of architecture and interior design. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Napoleons military expedition to Egypt in 1798 famously included various scientists and savants, among whom was the author of this three-volume work, published in French in 1802 and in English in 1803. Vivant Denon (1747–1825) was a diplomat under the Ancien Régime, but survived the Revolution thanks to the patronage of the painter David, and met Napoleon through the salon of Josephine de Beauharnais. He accompanied the army, excavating and sketching, sometimes even during battles. The publication of this lively, illustrated account is regarded as the chief stimulus for the so-called Egyptian Revival style of architecture, interior design and even costume. In Volume 3, Denon continues his travels, taking opportunities to join with surveying parties, sketching, and purchasing antiquities, including mummies and papyrus manuscripts. The volume ends with Denons return to France, and his regret at how little he had seen and done, compared with the immensity of Egypt. Table of Contents 19. Arab council; 20.
