"The archaeological surveys and discoveries that accompanied Napoleon's
campaign in Egypt, and the battles between France and Britain that took
place there, aroused great public interest. Ancient Egyptian art and
architecture provided designers with a whole new range of motifs, such
as winged sun-discs, hawks and crocodiles." (From the Style Guide: Regency Classicism of the wonderful Victoria and Albert Museum in London)
Egyptian art does still fascinate us today. I admit there was a time I thought my head was going to explode if there was one more documentary about ancient Egypt on TV although I love watching documentaries. There can be too much of a good thing ;-)
This week's Jewelry Artisans Community Oldies but Goodies Challenge is also about the fascination of ancient Egypt. I hope you will enjoy my little selection.
