Egyptian Temple

Egyptian temple


Watercolour on paper;
50 / 70 cm
value: 200 £


It took me around 5 hours to make it.

I got an assigment of making a work dedicated to Ancient Egypt, however I wasn't most keen on making Pyramid's studies like everybody else, therefore i decided to make an illustration to a historical event of Napoleon's expedition to Egypt from 1798 when Europe rediscovered Egypt after a couple of centuries. The work presents Napoleon and his experts imagining how a temple looked like in her age of greatest glory :)
