Ancient Egypt Through the Western Gaze
Between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, ancient Egypt exerted a profound fascination on the European imagination, fueled by scientific expeditions, collecting, and the pioneering work of scholars such as Jean-François Champollion. This collection brings together different perspectives on that period: Léon Jean Joseph Dubois, Champollion's collaborator, who created the plates for the Panthéon égyptien dedicated to Egyptian deities, as in the work Emblems of Hathor (the Egyptian Venus); Henry Roderick Newman, who painted highly precise watercolors of ancient monuments during the winters he spent in Egypt, including the Temple of Ramses II; and Owen Jones, who studied decorative ornament between Egypt and the Alhambra before compiling it in his celebrated Grammar of Ornament. Bringing one of these prints into your home means preserving that research, not filling an empty space.
Crafted to last
Each Framed Art Print is made with fine art paper, then finished and framed by hand in Italy. We do not chase an immediate effect: we seek a rendering that remains faithful to the original colors over time, because a work intended to be passed down deserves a foundation as solid as the history it tells.

A work of art, not just a decoration
A print does not simply fill a wall: it carries a theme, an era, a story that continues to speak to those who look at it. The Egyptological works curated by Miriaci remain faithful to this principle — pieces chosen for their meaning, even before their aesthetic appeal.
Aesthetics fade. Meaning remains.
