Recenzje

Providing a space where biblical legend, historical anecdote and the domestic scene could coalesce, nineteenth-century paintings of ancient Egypt represent an important genre often subsumed beneath discussions of classicism in Victorian art. Moser does these works a considerable service in excavating, in their own right, their archaeological inspirations and aesthetic importance.
