EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases six views and drawings of Lake Natron in Libya, captured during the reconnaissance mission of the Egyptian Army led by General Andreossy in 1799. Created by Henri Joseph Redoute, a renowned artist, this piece beautifully combines pen, ink, and watercolor on paper. The first view transports us to the Monastery of St. Macarius, offering a glimpse into its serene surroundings. The second drawing presents a topographic map of Saint-Macaire, revealing the destruction and ruins of monasteries while highlighting their remaining towers. Moving forward, we are treated to an overview of the Monasteries Embah-bichoy and Syrians in the third image. The fourth drawing takes us inside Monastery Embah-bichoy as we witness its interior from atop a tower known as Pain des Moines. The fifth depiction focuses on Communion bread—a poignant symbol within religious practices—adding depth to this collection. Lastly, we encounter a detailed map showcasing Monastery Sa ayd said Syrians. These six views and drawings provide valuable insights into both historical landmarks and natural landscapes found around Lake Natron. Preserved within Bibliothèque Paul-Marmottan in Boulogne-Billancourt, France's Académie des Beaux-Arts collection; they offer viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich history and beauty that once graced these Libyan lands. This particular print is part of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection available through eBibliotheque Marmottan in Paris—an invaluable resource for art enthusiasts seeking access to remarkable works like Redoute's masterpiece.
