Paperback. Zustand: Good. Ever since the Arab conquest of Egypt in the seventh century, Cairo has been one of the great centers of Islam. The noted French historian Prisse d'Avennes published from 1869 to 1877 his monumental L'art arabe, a sumptuous set of plates illustrating a wide range of art treasures located in and around Cairo. In the city's mosques and palaces, Prisse d'Avennes discovered rare architectural ornaments (tiles, wood carving, paintings on walls and ceilings, woven hangings), carpets, paper appliqués, and illuminated books, and his were the first publications of most of this hitherto neglected and unknown material. Arabic Art in Color contains 50 full-color plates from these rare volumes. There are 141 designs and motifs that constitute a grammar of Islamic decorative art in its authentic colors -- naturalistic florals; geometrical patterns based on hexagons, octagons, and dodecagons; Koran illuminations of incredible intricacy; animal vignettes; spots and borders of many kinds. The illustrations range from the twelfth century to the eighteenth. Artists, art historians, collectors, designers of textiles, wallpaper and packaging, craftspeople working in stained glass, rugs, mosaics, etc. and others will find this book a valuable source of pictorial information and inspiration on Islamic art and design.…

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Starke Gebrauchsspuren. In seiner leidenschaftlichen Bewunderung fur die Fahigkeiten altagyptischer und orientalischer Kunstler leistete der franzosische Orientalist Emile Prisse d'Avennes (1807-1879) Bahnbrechendes in der Agyptologie. Schon als Jugendlicher traumte er davon, den Orient zu erkunden, und begann mit 19 Jahren seine Reisen, die ihn nach Griechenland, Palastina und Indien fuhrten. In den folgenden 40 Jahren bereiste er Syrien, die Arabische Halbinsel und Persien und lebte auch in Agypten und Algerien. Unter dem Namen Idris Effendi erkundete er Agypten und schrieb spater in seiner Geschichte der agyptischen Kunst uber die Eleganz und den Luxus dieser Zeit, als die agyptische Kunstfertigkeit ihren Hohepunkt erreichte. 1844 reiste Prisse d'Avennes von Alexandria nach Frankreich, wo er 1847 die Monuments egyptiens veroffentlichte, einen Band mit 51 Tafeln basierend auf seinen Zeichnungen aus Agypten. Nach einem weiteren Aufenthalt in Nordafrika kehrte er 1860 nach Paris zuruck, ausgestattet mit Hunderten von Zeichnungen, Fotografien, Skizzen und 400 Metern an Basreliefs. Fasziniert von der Symmetrie und Opulenz der agyptischen Kunst schuf er Sammelwerke, die seine Forschungen zum historischen und sozialen Kontext sowie zu Originaldokumenten einfliessen liessen. 1878/79 erschien sein vollstandiges Kompendium zur agyptischen Kunst mit 159 beeindruckenden Tafeln, die hier erstmals in einem handlichen Band vereint und vollstandig veroffentlicht w.…
