Egypt, the eternal light of the Nile’s banks
Land of pharaohs and timeless temples, Egypt is an endless source of inspiration for artists from around the world.
Between the pyramids of Giza, the tranquil waters of the Nile, the golden deserts, and the bustling markets of Cairo, this country fascinates with its majestic beauty and timeless mystery.
Since the 19th century, Orientalist painters have seen it as a paradise of light, color, and history, where past and present merge in a unique atmosphere.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Egypt, as it was glorified by Jean-Léon Gérôme, David Roberts, John Frederick Lewis, Eugène Fromentin, Frederic Leighton, Edwin Lord Weeks, and Charles Théodore Frère.
Their works immortalize the magic of the Nile, the ancient temples, and the golden light of the desert.
The magic of the Orient in your décor
Hanging an Egyptian painting means inviting the warm, captivating light of the Orient into your home. Egyptian art prints evoke the pyramids at sunset, scenes of life along the Nile, caravans in the desert, and the ruins of ancient temples.
These works blend perfectly with a classic, oriental, bohemian, or contemporary décor, bringing warmth, refinement, and depth.
A view of Cairo painted by Gérôme, a Nile landscape by David Roberts, or a luminous watercolor by Lewis will give your walls a breath of escape and majesty.
Orientalist painting is an art of vision and light — an ode to the beauty and mystery of the ancient world.
The great painters of Egypt
Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), master of French Orientalism, depicted Egypt with fascinating realism and masterful architectural precision.
David Roberts (1796–1864), a pioneer of artistic travel in Egypt, left a series of famous watercolors illustrating the temples and landscapes of the Nile.
John Frederick Lewis (1804–1876), who lived in Cairo for several years, painted Egyptian life with luminous and serene elegance.
Eugène Fromentin (1820–1876) combined Romanticism with ethnographic observation in canvases of inimitable pictorial softness.
Frederic Leighton (1830–1896) brought a sense of refinement and idealized beauty to his Oriental scenes.
Edwin Lord Weeks (1849–1903) celebrated Oriental light and architecture in vibrant, colorful compositions.
Finally, Charles Théodore Frère (1814–1888) illustrated sunsets over the Nile with exceptional delicacy and poetic atmosphere.
Together, they made Egypt a pictorial myth — that of eternal light and inner journey.
