EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Cairo, Egypt, during a momentous event - an inundation of the mighty Nile River. The image showcases Elbequier (Azbakiya) Square, with its stunning architecture and bustling cityscape. Created in 1803 by Cornelius Tiebout after Dominique Vivant Denon, this line engraving beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment. As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are drawn to the dramatic sky filled with billowing clouds illuminated by a full moon. The floodwaters of the Nile have transformed Azbakiya Square into a mesmerizing scene where boats navigate through what was once solid ground. This unique perspective allows us to witness how transportation adapted to these extraordinary circumstances. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every element comes together harmoniously - from the intricate engravings on buildings to the subtle play of light and shadow cast upon them. It is truly a testament to their skill and dedication. This artwork belongs to The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, which celebrates historical moments captured through artistry and craftsmanship. As we admire this piece, let us reflect on how nature's forces can shape our world and inspire awe-inspiring works like this one.
