After Napoleon’s great expedition to Egypt, the cartoonists Ippolito Rosellini and Émile Prisse D’Avennes have two proposals in which they develop their graphic activity, marked by the personality of each of the artists, their training and their experience.
Both are aware of the meaning of the hieroglyphic language and their deep study leads them to discover a new poetics in the images belonging to the art of the ancient Egypt. Both of them turn their gazes to the same artistic references in tombs and temples, creating other works of an eclectic style that unites two very distant moments in time.
They are able, as few artists are, of establishing with their drawings a three-way dialogue among the observer, the work itself and some of the most emblematic images created by the artists of Pharaonic Egypt.
