Dominique Vivant, Baron Denon (1747–1825) was a French artist, writer, diplomat, author, and archaeologist who played a crucial role in the intellectual and cultural development of France during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He is perhaps best known for his association with the Louvre Museum, where he served as the first Director-General under Napoleon. His efforts in cataloguing the Louvre's collection were significant, as they laid the groundwork for the museum's rise to prominence as one of the world's leading art institutions.

One of the notable works associated with Denon's efforts to document the Louvre's holdings is the series of engravings by Benjamin Zix (1772-1811), a French artist and engraver. Zix's work, which includes detailed illustrations of the museum's collection, served as an important record of the art and artifacts that were acquired during a period of rapid expansion under Napoleon's rule. These engravings not only provided a visual inventory of the collection but also helped to disseminate knowledge of the artworks to a wider audience, contributing to the public's appreciation of art and cultural heritage.

Denon's legacy extends beyond his work at the Louvre. He was an avid traveler and his explorations in Egypt, as part of Napoleon's campaign, led to the publication of his seminal work "Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Égypte" (Travels in Lower and Upper Egypt), which was influential in the field of Egyptology. Denon's diverse contributions to the arts and sciences, including his role in cataloguing the Louvre's collection with the aid of artists like Benjamin Zix, underscore his multifaceted impact on French cultural history.
