About the Item
Egyptian Deities And Exotic Animals from "Antiquities of Herculaneum" is an etching on paper realized by Various Authors in the 18th Century.
Good conditions.
The etching belongs to the print suite “Antiquities of Herculaneum Exposed” (original title: “Le Antichità di Ercolano Esposte”), an eight-volume volume of engravings of the finds from the excavation of the ruins of Herculaneum in the Kingdom of Naples (now Campania, Italy).
It was published between 1757 and 1792 by the Regia Stamperia, and copies were delivered to selected recipients across Europe.
Despite the title, the Antiquity of Herculaneum shows objects from all the excavations undertaken by the Bourbons in the Gulf of Naples. These include Pompeii, Stabia and two sites of Herculaneum: Resina and Portici.
The Bourbon King Carlo appointed fifteen scholars creating a new “Herculaneum Academy” to study the artifacts and publish the results of the archaeological excavations of the sites.
The engravings are of high quality and the accompanying text shows a large scholarship.
They were realized by 25 prominent artists involved by the King to prepare drawings and engravings on the finds, among which we can find Giovanni Elia Morghen, Carlo Nolli, Luigi Vanvitelli, and Giovanni Battista Casanova.
The “Antiquities” was designed more to amaze readers with the quality of the objects in the collection of the King of Naples than to be used in research., following and increasing the interest of 18th-century society for the classical culture and Art in particular.
Through the exaltation of the classical concept of proportions and harmony, the book was of inspiration to the neoclassical movement in Europe, giving artists and decorators access to a huge shop of Hellenistic motifs.

Engravings of Egypt's Sphinx and Hermopolis: Early European Exploration, c.1795
Located in Langweer, NL
The two engravings displayed side by side depict monumental structures from ancient Egypt and are dated to the late 18th century. They are both examples of European interest in documenting and exploring Egyptian antiquities during the period of early exploration and fascination with the ancient world.
### Image 1: Profile View of the Remains of the Sphinx near the Pyramids of Egypt
- Subject: The Sphinx, one of Egypt's most iconic monuments, is shown with its body largely buried in sand, as it was during this period before modern excavations. The figures atop and around the Sphinx provide scale and show the magnitude of the monument. The image also captures European explorers and researchers measuring the Sphinx, emphasizing the curiosity and study of ancient civilizations.
- Age: This engraving likely dates from the late 18th century, during a time when European expeditions to Egypt were becoming more common, particularly following Napoleon's campaign in the late 1790s, which sparked Egyptomania across Europe.
- Maker: The engraving is credited to Denon and Lege, both of whom were active artists and engravers during this time. Dominique Vivant Denon...
