Framed Print of The Sphinx, c. 1853. Creator: John Beasley Greene (American, 1832-1856)
The Sphinx, c. 1853. The son of a wealthy banker, Greene was an American but born and raised in Paris. At a young age, he became an avid archaeologist focusing on the Middle East. Before embarking on his first trip to Egypt in 1853 at age 19, he learned photography so he could accurately document excavations, discoveries, and inscriptions, but he also used the relatively new medium to produce elegant landscapes such as the view of Thebes nearby. Greene, who was involved in excavations of the Great Sphinx, died in Cairo in 1856, possibly of tuberculosis. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
