Pharaohs and ancient Egypt come alive on the walls of Atelier des Lumieres for the new 2024 exhibition.
It’s an unusual departure for Atelier des Lumieres, as they have presented shows by major artists of the 19th and 20thcentury in the last seven years including Van Gogh. Monet, Cezanne, and Klimt.
The mesmerizing light show traces the history of Egypt, beginning with the remains of old Egypt that were uncovered by French scientists during the Egyptian Campaign of 1798 to 1801, with drawings by artists David Roberts. It continues with depictions of the enormous construction sites used to build the pyramids and chronicling the workers. The wondrous temples from Luxor to Abu Simbel are also displayed along with the Valley of the Queen’s and King’s.
A shorter show of 15 minutes, The Orientalists, Ingres, Delacroix, Gerome… follows Egyptian Pharaohs. When the gateways of the Orient began allowing painters from Western civilization, it opened a new world for artists such as Ingres, Delacroix, and Gerome and a host of lesser-known painters. Their exotic paintings come to life as we enter a world of mystery and fantasy.
Until January 5, 2025
