Full Moon Over Luxor Ruins, Off the Nile, February 9, 1876
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on card painting by Lockwood de Forest II, a prominent American artist of the 19th century who was a key figure in the Aesthetic Movement. This exquisite work of art depicts the breathtaking scene of the full moon rising over the ancient ruins of Luxor, located along the Nile River in Egypt. The painting captures the essence of the Nile Valley's geography, with the moon casting a soft, ethereal glow over the ruined temples of Karnak and Luxor, also known as Al-Uqsur and Thebes in ancient Egypt. The painting is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Egypt, which was a source of fascination for many artists and travelers during the 19th century. Lockwood de Forest II's masterful use of color and light creates a striking contrast between the dark, rugged ruins and the bright, luminous moon, highlighting the beauty and mystery of the lunar landscape. The painting also offers a glimpse into the scientific and astronomical interests of the time, as the study of the solar system and the moon was a popular pursuit among intellectuals and artists. This painting is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and has been exhibited in various museums and institutions, including the Art Institute of Chicago. Lockwood de Forest II's "Full Moon Over Luxor Ruins, Off the Nile, February 9, 1876" is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a historical document that transports us back in time to a bygone era of exploration, discovery, and artistic innovation. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this painting is sure to inspire wonder and awe.
