The Temple of Edfu: The Door of the Pylon, 1850. John Frederick Lewis (British, 1805-1876). Watercolor (wash and point of brush work) and gouache and graphite ; sheet: 35.5 x 43.3 cm (14 x 17 1/16 in.). This notable recent acquisition is the work of John Frederick Lewis, who moved to Cairo in 1841 and stayed for almost a decade. He made this drawing on an expedition up the Nile that he took with his wife in 1849-50, around the same time that the first photographers arrived in Egypt. At that time,the temple complex at Edfu was buried to a depth of almost 40 feet. Lewiss watercolor carefully renders the ruins and records the hieroglyphic inscription,but transcends archaeological description to evoke the thrill of exploration and discovery.Photographers,influenced by painters such as David Roberts and Lewis, often chose similar viewpoints and framing for their depictions.

Monks on the Staircase of the Villa of Maecenas at Tivoli 1821-1831 France. In this small but powerful ink and wash drawing, Granet depicts a mysterious procession of monks moving from darkness to light up a vaulted stone staircase as monumental as it is stark. The sceneís enigmatic subject matter and gothic mood place this work in the aesthetic category of the sublime, defined in the late 1700s as a kind of ìdelightful horror.î The sublime was an alternative to the search for ideal beauty that characterized the more classically inspired art of the period with its emphasis on moralizing and exemplary history.. Pen and brown ink and brush and brown wash, with touches of watercolor, over traces of graphite, on ivory laid paper, perimeter mounted on cream wove paper . François Marius Granet
