Re: Paintings of Egyptian scenes
Two paintings by the present day Egyptian artist Farid Fadel.
I have always liked the simplicity of this one, and I'm rather keen on kites too.
This one is a familiar sight to many of us I'm sure, even if the location and men are different.

Re: Paintings of Egyptian scenes
This came up on my newsfeed today. If you keep clicking on the right side of the painting you'll see about 68 of his; the carpet selling ones are sure to be in there, if you have the time/incination. Happy hunting.

Re: Paintings of Egyptian scenes
Excellent link thanks for posting
As the Dr. says he was certainly a prolific artist, quite a variation in the quality of some paintings, some are very detailed and others look a bit rushed and I would love to know some of the background behind the various scenes, especially those featuring military armour. He certainly enjoyed depicting a few 'slappers' and belly dancers though.

Re: Paintings of Egyptian scenes
Winged Isis has beaten me to it. I was going to select some more Jean Leon Gerome paintings to add here but now you can all see a huge selection of his work. It's interesting to me that the same characters (or the clothing) appear in a number of different paintings and I wonder if these were real people or just sets and artistic imagination and licence.

Re: Paintings of Egyptian scenes
Many artists paint the same subject multiple times, e.g. Van Gogh did his "Sunflowers" about 9 (?) times I think. Or they use a basic image and re-work it from different angles or times of day, or with different elements or in different mediums.
I have drawn and painted the same subject more than once, to get a completely different result. I did a watercolour-pencil painting of Luxor Temple and a friend did it in oils; a very different result.

Re: Paintings of Egyptian scenes
That's the one I painted (as per my last post)!!! You're a mind reader! It took you a year to do it, but you got there.

Definitely a bit of "artistic licence" going on thereHEPZIBAH wrote:

Re: Paintings of Egyptian scenes
On second thoughts.....
I suppose the south end of the colonnade could have looked something like that in the 19th century - before the extensive restoration of the temple.

Re: Paintings of Egyptian scenes
Winged Isis, have you tried the instructions given the Suggestions section? Keefy produced a tutorial for there.
