Painting Description
"The Pyramids at Cairo, engraved by Daniel Havell 1785-1826 1809" is a notable work of art by the British artist and diplomat Henry Salt, who is remembered for his contributions to the visual documentation of Egyptian landscapes and monuments during the early 19th century. This particular engraving, created in 1809, is part of a series of works that Salt produced based on his travels and observations in Egypt, which were later compiled in his influential publication "Twenty-Four Views Taken in St. Helena, the Cape, India, Ceylon, the Red Sea, Abyssinia and Egypt."
The engraving depicts the iconic Great Pyramids of Giza, situated near Cairo, and is a testament to Salt's skill in capturing the grandeur and scale of these ancient structures. Daniel Havell, a renowned engraver of the time, is credited with transferring Salt's vision onto the print medium, ensuring the fine details and the essence of Salt's original drawings were preserved. Havell's contribution to the piece is significant, as his expertise in engraving allowed for the wide dissemination of Salt's work, thereby influencing the European understanding and appreciation of Egyptian heritage.
Henry Salt's artistic endeavors were closely tied to his diplomatic career, as he served as the British Consul-General in Egypt from 1815 to 1827. His access to various historical sites, combined with his artistic talent, resulted in a body of work that not only served as a visual record of Egyptian antiquities but also played a role in the burgeoning field of Egyptology. "The Pyramids at Cairo" stands as a fine example of the cross-cultural exchange and the early 19th-century fascination with the ancient world, reflecting both the aesthetic and scholarly interests of the period.
