About the Item

Napoleon’s Egyptian Campaign Battle Scenes, Denon Voyage Egypt Engravings 1802 This dramatic pair of copper engravings originates from Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Égypt, published in Paris in 1802 by Didot and illustrated by Dominique Baron Vivant Denon. Created in the immediate aftermath of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign, these plates document moments of conflict and military encounter observed or reconstructed by Denon during his thirteen-month stay with the French expeditionary forces. Note: The engravings are offered unframed, enabling custom framing to personal or interior preferences. Attached image is sample only. In contrast to Denon’s archaeological and architectural studies, these compositions focus on the human and martial dimensions of the campaign. Cavalry charges, advancing troops, wounded figures, and smoke-filled battlefields are rendered with urgency and controlled drama. The engravings balance narrative intensity with disciplined composition, presenting the campaign not as heroic spectacle alone, but as a complex and often brutal confrontation played out across the Egyptian landscape. The scenes reflect Denon’s unique position as both eyewitness and artist. Working under difficult conditions, he sketched rapidly and selectively, later refining these observations into engravings that combine reportage with Enlightenment-era clarity. The result is imagery that predates later Romantic battle painting, instead emphasizing movement, terrain, and the stark realities of combat. Printed on firm laid paper from copper plates engraved after Denon’s drawings, these works form an important visual record of the Napoleonic presence in Egypt. As a pair, they offer a powerful counterpoint to the more serene archaeological plates from the Voyage, making them particularly appealing to collectors of Napoleonic history, military iconography, and early documentary printmaking. Displayed together, they read as a cohesive narrative set with strong visual impact. Condition report: Good antique condition overall. Light age-toning and scattered spotting consistent with early 19th-century laid paper. Minor surface marks and small marginal imperfections may be present. Plate marks visible. No major tears or losses; sheets remain sound. Framing tips: These engravings benefit from generous ivory or warm off-white mats that allow the dramatic scenes to breathe. Dark walnut, ebonized, or restrained antique gilt frames enhance the historical gravity of the subject matter. Particularly effective when framed as a matched pair and hung side by side. Technique: Copper engraving Maker: Dominique Baron Vivant Denon, Paris, 1802
