About the Item
Tombs near Esna, Egypt – Nile Landscape by Norden, Copper Engraving 1755
Description:
This panoramic view presents the tombs near the city of Esna, set within a broad Nile landscape. Norden’s composition emphasizes spatial depth, with clustered funerary structures embedded into the terrain and distant hills anchoring the horizon.
Published in 1755, the plate exemplifies Norden’s ability to merge archaeological observation with atmospheric landscape drawing. The scene records ancient burial grounds as part of a living geography, rather than isolating them as detached ruins.
The engraving is particularly attractive for interior display due to its calm rhythm, balanced proportions, and expansive sky.
