Painting Description
"Exploration of the Great Pyramid of Giza" is a historical illustration from the work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" by the Italian author Jules Ferrario. The illustration, engraved by Gaetano Zancon (1771-1816) and designed by Alessandro Sanquirico, depicts a scene of individuals exploring the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The work is part of a broader collection that aims to document the clothing and customs of people from different periods and regions of the world.
"Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" was published in the early 19th century and is known for its detailed engravings and comprehensive descriptions. The illustration by Sanquirico, an Italian painter and stage designer, and Zancon, an engraver, is significant for its artistic representation of one of the most iconic and enduring symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization. The Great Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, has fascinated explorers, historians, and the public for centuries, and this illustration captures a moment of such exploration during a period when Egyptology was gaining momentum in Europe.
The image serves not only as a historical record of the attire and equipment of early modern explorers but also reflects the European fascination with Egypt during the 19th century, which was partly fueled by Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and the subsequent scholarly interest in ancient Egyptian culture. The detailed engraving provides insight into the challenges faced by those who sought to uncover the secrets of the pyramids and contributes to the visual culture surrounding the study and exploration of ancient Egypt.
