EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Pompeys Column, Alexandria 1798" we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable scene. French soldiers stand in awe as they gaze upon the majestic Pompeys Column, an ancient relic that has withstood the test of time. The column, a symbol of Rome's grandeur and power, stands tall against the backdrop of Alexandria. Amidst this historical setting, our attention is drawn to a group of men joyfully flying a kite nearby. Their carefree spirits contrast with the solemnity surrounding them, reminding us that even amidst war and conquest, simple pleasures can still be found. It is as if these men have momentarily escaped from reality into their own world of wonder and excitement. The artist behind this masterpiece is Vivant Denon (1747-1825), who skillfully captures both the architectural beauty and human emotions within his watercolour painting. Through his brushstrokes, he transports us to a pivotal moment in history when France's influence extended far beyond its borders. This print by Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as an exquisite reminder of the enduring allure of ancient civilizations and their impact on subsequent generations. It invites us to reflect on how art can bridge gaps between different eras and cultures while also celebrating life's simplest joys amidst tumultuous times.
