‎Dominique VIVANT DENON - COINY (sculpsit)‎

‎Voyage dans la Basse et Haute Egypte : 1. Vue d'Ajaccio en Corse. 2. Vue de Fréjus. Planche 91.<br />‎

‎Paris: Didot 1803. Fine. Didot Paris 1803 40 x 54 cm une feuille Original in folio engraving untrimmed from Vivant Denon's Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte. Plate composed of 2 views described by the author as follows: No. 1. View of Ajaccio small town that became famous for being the birthplace of a great man; I have represented our arrival there see the Journal volume II page 341. No. 2. View of Fréjus from the Aix gate side; I have represented the moment when the two frigates bringing Bonaparte back to France enter the port of this town; an event that belongs to history and will become through it a more lasting monument than the Roman amphitheatre whose ruins can be seen in the foreground of the print. Some foxing otherwise fine condition. First published in two volumes including an atlas of engravings by Didot in 1802 the 'Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Égypte' was so successful that it was translated as early as 1803 into English and German then a few years later into Dutch and Italian among others. Almost all the plates are drawn by Denon who also engraved a small number himself notably portraits of Egyptian inhabitants which have retained all the freshness of sketches taken from life nos 104-111. Some twenty engravers also collaborated in creating the etchings including Baltard Galien Réville and others. Dominique Vivant Baron Denon known as Vivant Denon born in Givry on January 4 1747 and died in Paris on April 27 1825 was a French engraver writer diplomat and administrator. At Bonaparte's invitation he joined the Egyptian expedition embarking on May 14 1798 aboard the frigate ""La Junon"". Protected by French troops he had the opportunity to travel throughout the country in all directions gathering material that served as the basis for his most important artistic and literary work. He particularly accompanied General Desaix to Upper Egypt from which he brought back numerous sketches ink washes and other drawings in pen black stone or red chalk. He drew relentlessly most often on his knee standing or even on horseback and sometimes even under enemy fire. After a 13-month journey during which he drew several thousand sketches Vivant Denon returned to France with Bonaparte and became the first artist to publish an account of this expedition. The 141 plates accompanying his Journal retrace his entire journey from the coasts of Corsica to the pharaonic monuments of Upper Egypt. Bonaparte then appointed him director general of the central museum of the Republic which became the Napoléon museum then the royal museum of the Louvre and administrator of the arts. In 1805 Vivant Denon relaunched the Vendôme column project which had been suspended in 1803. He then organized expeditions throughout imperial Europe to amass art objects which were plundered to be taken to the Louvre. In 1814 Louis XVIII confirmed him as head of the Louvre one wing of which still bears his name today. He is considered a great precursor of museology art history and Egyptology. Didot unknown‎

Light marginal spotting not touching image otherwise in very fresh fine condition. An engraving from the Description de l'Egypte one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests in 1798 and 1799 the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates of which 72 colored as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Eastern Armies. The ‘Egyptian campaign' militarily a disaster demonstrates through the engravings of the Description d'Egypte the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut d'Egypte Egyptian Institute who followed Napoleon's army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants.This edition the so-called “Imperial” edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats two of which were specially created for it and christened “Moyen-Egypte” and “Grand-Egypte”. A special press was built to print it the process extending over 20 years from 1809 to 1829. The “Imperial” edition proved so popular that a second edition this time in black and white and without the “Egypte ancienne et moderne” watermark – known as the “Royal Edition” – was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke Paris.The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon the Louvre. His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte.Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51 reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté author of Roses the mineralogist Dolomiue and the draughtsman Joly Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When however he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798 he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed “a country that is apart from its name entirely unknown to Europeans and therefore everything was worth describing” Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant les campagnes de Bonaparte en 179 Didot unknown‎
