EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Two Pyramids of Moeris, King of Egypt and his Wife" a remarkable piece of historical architecture. Plate 11 from the renowned work "Entwurf einer historischen Architektur" by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, this engraving was skillfully executed by Johann Adam Delsenbach in 1721. The image transports us to ancient Egypt, where we are greeted with an awe-inspiring sight. The two pyramids stand proudly on an island in the midst of the majestic Nile River. These grand structures were built as mausoleums for Pharaoh Moeris and his wife, serving as eternal resting places for their esteemed souls. The composition beautifully captures the symmetry and intricacy of Egyptian temple design. The rotunda-like shape at the top adds a touch of elegance to these monumental tombs. It is truly a testament to the architectural genius that thrived during this ancient era. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both beauty and history within its frame. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with preserving legacies through magnificent structures like these pyramids. This particular print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. Its presence allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind it but also our collective connection to civilizations long gone.
