Le Baron Denon.
Hesse pinx.t 1816.
Etching, platemark 205 x 150mm (8 x 6"), with very large margins.
Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon (1747-1825), French painter, archaeologist and traveller. Denon had a brilliant career as an artist and diplomat under the ancien regime, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Diderot, Voltaire, and Robespiere. He followed Napoleon on his campaign in Egypt, making over 150 sketches (now in the British Museum) which, reproduced in his book 'Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte' (1802), the first serious description of the antiquities discovered in Egypt, were influential in establishing the Egyptian Revival style in France. In 1802 he was appointed director-general of the Imperial Museums, playing a key role in bringing foreign masterpieces into the Louvre. He played a crucial role as artistic adviser to Napoleon, selecting artworks to requisition and handing out commissions to artists. After Napoleon's defeat in 1815 he retired, and spent his last ten years engraving and working on a general history of the arts. Engraving after portrait of Denon by Henri-Joseph Hesse (1781-1849)
