                  Classics of Egyptian Art Recreated:  About the Originals

                                 Illustration from Discoveries: Ancient Egypt (Barnes & Noble Books)

The full-color prints in the 'Re-creations'  series are restoration-copies of several great works

of Egyptian art.   We will never know the names of the artists who created these masterpieces,

but I have attempted to bring their work 'back to life' in the full color, clarity and brilliance

 in which they were originally done.  Below are images of the original works on which the re-creations are based.

Ships of Hatshepsut's Punt Expedition: Granite relief at Deir El Bahri and a drawing by one of Napoleon's engineers.

 

Granite relief mural from Abu Simbel celebrating the victory of Ramesses II (the Great) at Quadesh.  

Watercolor by Ippolito Rosellini on the Franco-Tuscan Expedition of 1828 - before the paint had flaked off.
