The famous Nile Mosaic of Palestrina, ancient Praeneste in central Italy, dating to c. 100 B.C., is one of the earliest large mosaics which have been preserved from the classical world. It presents a unique, comprehensive picture of Egypt and Nubia. The interpretation of the mosaic is disputed, suggestions ranging from an exotic decoration to a topographical picture or a religious allegory. The present study demonstrates that the mosaic depicts rituals connected with Isis and Osiris and the yearly Nile flood. The presence of these Egyptian religious scenes at Praeneste can be explained by the assimilation of isis and Fortuna, the tutelary goddess of Praeneste, and by the interpretation of the mosaic as a symbol of divine providence.

A unique phenomenon in the history of art, Egyptomania was born at the juncture of science and imagination. It draws its substance from scholarly knowledge about ancient Egypt, from the lore transmitted by travellers and writers, and from the repertory of myths and symbols thus generated. Egyptomania first appeared in Roman times, underwent a revival in the sixteenth century, and strengthened its hold in the eighteenth - its power to seduce the artistic imagination endures to our day. It numbers among its conquests Piranese, Hope, Turner, Wedgwood, Cartier, and Lalique. Ancient Egypt's fascination extends to all the arts : architecture, interior design, furniture, decorative arts, sculpture, painting, theatre, and film. No genre has escaped its influence. The sheer scale of the movement defies any attempt at inclusivity. Egyptomania, an exhibition jointly organized by the National Gallery of Canada and the Musee du Louvre, offers a representative selection of masterworks from around the world. They have been arranged side by side with several exceptional antique works, allowing us to consider the role of copy and interpretation, to follow the evolution of Egyptomania in relation to the progress of Egyptology, and above all, to admire the creative products of the phenomenon. Centuries pass and fashions change, but ancient Egypt continues to cast its spell with astonishing vitality and force.

Depuis la grande expédition d’Égypte qui marqua les esprits, seuls des voyageurs aussi célèbres que Maxime Du Camp et Gustave Flaubert sont restés dans les mémoires, alors que d’autres sont complètement oubliés ou connus des seuls spécialistes. Pourtant, leurs travaux restent des sources irremplaçables sur une ville en grande partie disparue. En effet, tout au long du XIXe siècle, beaucoup de monuments périrent faute d’entretien et à partir des années 1870, le khédive Ismaïl entreprit des travaux d’embellissement pour donner à la capitale de l’Égypte un aspect européen, aux prix d’importantes démolitions. Tous ces voyageurs, architectes, peintres, « antiquaires » furent subjugués par l’architecture médiévale du Caire et par le décor géométrique de ses bâtiments civils et religieux. Ils tentèrent à travers leurs dessins, photographies et relevés de faire connaître ces richesses artistiques que certains prévoyaient de publier dans des recueils, dont quelques-uns virent le jour. Ce livre a pour vocation de sortir de l’ombre ces passionnés qui offrent encore aujourd’hui des témoignages uniques assortis souvent de descriptions de dessins, de photographies ou d’écrits théoriques en règle générale peu accessibles. Un ensemble de spécialistes met ici en valeur ces documents tombés dans l’oubli et présente des synthèses de leurs œuvres et de leurs apports à la connaissance du Caire médiéval. La présente version numérique est revue et corrigée par rapport à la version publiée en 2013 aux éditions Picard.
