EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Bedouin encampment before the magnificent Temple of Hathor at Dendera, Egypt in 1867. The artist, Charles Vacher, skillfully used pencil, watercolor, and body color on paper to bring this scene to life. The artwork measures 69.8x129.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Vacher's work transports us back to the nineteenth century when traveling was an adventure filled with religious exploration and cultural encounters. In this image, we see a large group of people gathered outside the temple against a backdrop of majestic mountainscape. Men are sitting on the ground while others stand nearby, creating an elevated view of their campsite. The composition beautifully showcases the rural surroundings as well as the building exterior of the Temple of Hathor itself. A bystander can be seen observing from afar as camels peacefully rest amidst this tranquil oasis. Vacher's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of both interior decoration and natural space surrounding the encampment. The colors chosen for this piece perfectly capture the warm hues of sunset casting its glow over everything it touches. This artwork belongs to the academic school style prevalent during that era and reflects Vacher's European background combined with his fascination for Orientalism. It serves as a testament to not only Vacher's artistic talent but also his ability to transport viewers into another time and place through his meticulous brushstrokes.
