Piramiden van Egypte 1572

"Piramiden van Egypte" is a 1572 engraving by Philips Galle, a prominent Flemish artist. This print showcases the Pyramids of Egypt in a dramatic and detailed manner. It depicts a panoramic landscape with several pyramids and obelisks, with a group of people working at the base of one of the pyramids. The scene is framed by a crowned figure, likely a pharaoh, observing from a distance. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistic interest in ancient civilizations during the Renaissance.
