拍品描述
NORTH AMERICAN SCHOOL (MID-19TH CENTURY) THE GREAT PYRAMID OF CHEOPS, GIZEH Oil on canvas, the oak frame with remnants of a paper label 113 x 160cm (44? x 62 in.) Provenance: The Niagara Falls Museum Collection The Michael C. Carlos Museum Collection, Emory University Their sale, Sotheby's, New York, Egyptian, Classical and Western Asiatic Antiquities, Including Property from the Collection of the Late Marion Schuster, Lausanne, 7 December, 2001, lot 258A, where purchased by Robert Kime The present lot was created sometime during the mid-Nineteenth century for the Niagara Falls Museum (later Daredevil Hall of Fame). Founded in 1827, by Englishman Thomas Barnett, the museum was an eclectic institution devoted to displaying natural history, taxidermy, curiosities, and local relics, including the barrels used by people to plummet over the falls. By 1854, Barnett's son made the first of three trips to Egypt. In an attempt to appeal to the growing public interest in the land of the pharaohs, the museum began to acquire Egyptian objects and artifacts, including a large collection of mummies (including Ramesses I) and coffins. Artworks such as The Great Pyramid of Cheops, Gizeh, were commissioned to enhance and compliment the setting of these artifacts. The collections were enormously popular and visited by Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Jenny Lind, and Theodore Roosevelt. In 1878 the museum was taken over by the Davis family, and in 1888, was relocated to Niagara Falls, New York. In 1999, the whole collection was sold to Canadian collector William Jamieson. It was at this time that 145 Egyptian works were purchased by the Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University in Atlanta. Sotheby's sold part of the collection in 2001 where Robert purchased the present painting.
