Painting Description
"Peasant Dwellings in Upper Egypt" is a notable illustration from the work "The Valley of the Nile," which showcases the architectural and cultural aspects of rural life in 19th-century Upper Egypt. This illustration is one of the many works included in the publication by the French Orientalist and artist Emile Prisse d'Avennes (1807-1879), who is renowned for his detailed studies and depictions of Egyptian art and architecture. The illustration was engraved by Eugene Le Roux (1807-1863), a distinguished engraver of the time, and was published in 1848 by the prominent French printing house Lemercier, known for its high-quality lithographic prints.
Emile Prisse d'Avennes dedicated much of his life to the study of Egyptian culture, and his works are considered important for their ethnographic and artistic value, providing insights into the life and environment of Egypt during the mid-19th century. "Peasant Dwellings in Upper Egypt" is particularly significant as it captures the vernacular architecture and the living conditions of the rural population in a period of transformation and modernization. The illustration is part of a larger body of work that contributed to the European understanding of Egyptian society and heritage, and it remains a valuable historical record for both scholars and enthusiasts of Egyptian history and art.
The illustration is characterized by its attention to detail and accuracy, reflecting Prisse d'Avennes' commitment to authentic representation. It is a testament to the collaboration between artist and engraver, combining the keen observational skills of Prisse d'Avennes with the technical expertise of Le Roux. "Peasant Dwellings in Upper Egypt" not only serves as a piece of artistic expression but also as a document of anthropological significance, offering a window into the past and enriching our knowledge of the diverse cultural landscapes of Egypt.
