In seiner leidenschaftlichen Bewunderung f r die grandiosen F higkeiten der alt gyptischen und orientalischen K nstler leistete der franz sische Orientalist, Schriftsteller und K nstler mile Prisse d?Avennes (1807?1879) Bahnbrechendes auf dem Gebiet der gyptologie. Schon als Jugendlicher tr umte er davon, den Orient zu erkunden, mit 19 machte er sich erstmals auf den Weg und besuchte Griechenland, Pal stina und Indien. In den folgenden 40 Jahren bereiste er Syrien, die Arabische Halbinsel und Persien und lebte einige Zeit in gypten und Algerien. gypten erkundete Prisse d?Avennes, in arabische Gew nder gekleidet, unter dem Namen Idris Effendi. Als Erforscher der alt gyptischen und islamischen Kulturen schrieb er sp ter in seiner Geschichte der gyptischen Kunst: ?Ich habe die elegantesten Vorlagen ausgew hlt, diejenigen, deren Gestalt eine sehr genaue Vorstellung vermittelt vom Geschmack und Luxus dieser Zeit, als die gyptische Kunstfertigkeit sich auf dem Gipfel ihrer Brillanz befand.? Im Jahr 1844 reiste Prisse d?Avennes von Alexandria nach Frankreich, wo er drei Jahre sp ter die Monuments gyptiens ( gyptische Baudenkm ler) ver ffentlichte. Dieser Band enth lt 51 Tafeln, die auf Zeichnungen basieren, die er w hrend seiner Zeit in gypten angefertigt hatte. Nach einem erneuten Aufenthalt in Nordafrika kehrte er 1860 wieder nach Paris zur ck, mit den Fr chten seiner zahlreichen Reisen im Gep ck: Hunderte von Foliozeichnungen, Fotografien, Skizzen, Karten und 400 Metern an Basreliefs. Fasziniert von der Symmetrie, Komplexit t und Opulenz der gyptischen und arabischen Kunst, griff er auf diesen gewaltigen Fundus zur ck, um Sammelwerke zur Kunst und Architektur zu schaffen, in die er seine Forschungen zum historischen, gesellschaftlichen und religi sen Kontext ebenso einflie en lie wie seine Untersuchungen von Originaldokumenten. 1878/79 erschien in Paris unter dem Titel Histoire de l?art gyptien (Geschichte der gyptischen Kunst) sein vollst ndiges Kompendium, das 159 beeindruckende Tafeln zur gyptischen Kunst enth lt. Diese au ergew hnlichen Tafeln zu Architektur, Skulptur, Malerei und Kunstgewerbe werden hier erstmals in einem Band vereint und vollst ndig ver ffentlicht. ---- In his passionate admiration for the magnificent skills of ancient Egyptian and oriental artists, the French orientalist, writer and artist mile Prisse d?Avennes (1807?1879) made groundbreaking contributions to the field of Egyptology. Even as a teenager he dreamed of exploring the Orient. At the age of 19 he set off for the first time and visited Greece, Palestine and India. In the following 40 years he traveled to Syria, the Arabian Peninsula and Persia and lived for some time in Egypt and Algeria. Prisse d'Avennes explored Egypt, dressed in Arab robes, under the name Idris Effendi. As a researcher of ancient Egyptian and Islamic cultures, he later wrote in his history of Egyptian art: ?I have selected the most elegant models, those whose shape gives a very accurate idea of ??the taste and luxury of that time when Egyptian artistry was at its peak brilliance.? In 1844, Prisse d'Avennes traveled from Alexandria to France, where three years later he published Monuments gyptiens (Egyptian Monuments). This volume contains 51 plates based on drawings he made during his time in Egypt. After another stay in North Africa, he returned to Paris in 1860 with the fruits of his numerous travels in his luggage: hundreds of folio drawings, photographs, sketches, maps and 400 meters of bas-reliefs. Fascinated by the symmetry, complexity and opulence of Egyptian and Arabic art, he drew on this enormous fund to create collections on art and architecture, in which he incorporated his research into the historical, social and religious context as well as his studies of original documents.
