Zeigt die ägyptischen Altertümer, den Nillauf, Landschaften und Szenen aus dem gegenwärtigen Ägypten. Erste Ausgabe, posthum in französischer Sprache von der dänischen Akademie der Wissenschaften herausgegeben. - Frederic Louis Norden (eigtl. Frederik Ludvig N., 1708-1742) war dänischer Marinekapitän und studierte zunächst in Holland Schiffsbau. Um sein beträchtliches zeichnerisches Talent auszubilden, begab er sich 1734 nach Italien, wo er u. a. die Bekanntschaft des dänisch-deutschen Malers, Zeichners und Architekten Marcus Tuscher (1705-1751) machte. 1737 erhielt Norden den Befehl Christians VI., nach Ägypten zu reisen, wo er bis 1738 blieb und u. a. Kairo und Ober-Ägypten erkundete. 'Die Zahl der gelehrten Ägypten-Reisender war bereits zu Nordens Zeit beträchtlich angewachsen .. Norden ist aber von allen der erste und bis auf V. Denon auch der einzige, der dort eine 'malerische Reise' tat. In seinen großen Bildmappen brachte er gleichzeitig das alte wie das neue Ägypten mit.' (Henze III, 622) - Die Darstellungen Nordens beschränken sich nicht nur auf Landschafts- und Städteansichten und Karten (darunter eine Karte des Nillaufs in 29 Bll.), sondern zeigen auch landwirtschaftliche Tätigkeiten, Fischerboote, Pflanzen, Geschirr, architektonische Details wie Säulen oder Obelisk u. v. m. Die Kupfertafeln und Vignetten stammen weitestgehend von Marcus Tuscher, der aber ebenfalls vor Fertigstellung des monumentalen Werkes starb.

λ&nbspENZO PLAZZOTTA (ITALIAN 1921-1981) ICARUS Bronze Signed and numbered 3/6 Width: 102cm (40in.) Provenance: Obelisk Gallery, London Literature: Carol Plazotta and Richard O'Conor, Enzo Plazotta, A Catalogue Raisonné, London, 1986, p. 161, no. 309 (Similar cast from same series)Italian-born sculptor Enzo Plazzotta Studied in Milan at the Accademia di Brera under Francesco Messina, until the outbreak of the second World War, when he enrolled in the army. He was sent to North Africa until Mussolini's fall, and subsequently founded a partisan movement, which led to his imprisonment. Released from the prison after the war, Plazzotta returned to Brera to complete his studies. In 1957 he travelled to England to present a statuette, before deciding to establish his artistic profile in London, directing his attention towards setting up a commercial art agency. At the age of forty, Plazzotta turned his attention back to sculpting, working mainly in bronze to create sculptures of dynamic human and animal figures, with a specific interest in dancers and horses. Despite many of his sculptures being situated on the streets of London, he maintained close links to his home-country, casting much of his work at his studio in the quarries of Pietrasanta. In 1976, Plazzotta was honoured the title of Cavaliere from the Italian government, acknowledging his services to Italian art. By 1981, Plazzotta's health was diminishing due to cancer, and he passed away within the same year. Plazzotta's work has been widely exhibited globally in Europe, the United States and Australia, and features in several public and private collections including the Vatican, Rome, The Hermitage, Lausanne and The Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane.
