EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Thebes, Byban el Molouk" a stunning colour engraving created by Andre Dutertre in the early 19th century. The image depicts a small group of men gathered in the Harps room from the Tomb of the Kings of the East. In this close-up shot, we see four men engaged in music-making and recreation. One man skillfully plays a stringed instrument resembling a harp while others attentively listen and appreciate his melodies. The decorative technique used to paint these murals is evident through vibrant colors that bring life to this ancient Egyptian scene. The illustration captures the leisurely atmosphere of mid-19th-century Europe, where individuals found solace and entertainment in artistic pursuits. This particular artwork reflects both Latin American influences and Greek antiquity, showcasing an amalgamation of cultures. The detailed engravings showcase every intricate line and stroke, highlighting Dutertre's mastery as an artist. Antoine Maxime Monsaldy also played a significant role in bringing this piece to life through his collaboration with Dutertre. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it transports us back to ancient times when music was not only enjoyed but revered as an essential part of human expression. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with our history and continues to inspire generations even centuries later.
