Our Albert Racinet Ancient Egypt art is a stunning tribute to vintage art and design, which played a significant role in shaping the Art Deco movement of the early 20th century. Albert-Charles-Auguste-Racinet, a renowned French costume historian, painter, illustrator, and author, left an indelible mark on the world of art with his remarkable contributions. Racinet's publication, "L'Ornement Polychrome," is a monumental collection of over 100 exquisitely colored lithographic plates that showcase decorative artwork from ancient civilizations spanning from the 1st century BC to the 18th century.
The plates in "L'Ornement Polychrome" are meticulously crafted, capturing the intricate details and vibrant colors of the artwork they depict. Each plate is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the artists who created it, and the collection as a whole offers a breathtaking glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of ancient civilizations.
One of the most remarkable features of "L'Ornement Polychrome" is its comprehensive coverage of decorative artwork from various regions and periods. From the intricate sculptures of ancient Greece to the colorful textiles of ancient Egypt, Racinet's plates showcase a wide range of artistic styles and techniques. The plates also include depictions of religious ceremonies, architectural wonders, and everyday life, providing a comprehensive view of the artistic achievements of different cultures.
Beyond its artistic value, "L'Ornement Polychrome" is also a valuable resource for historians, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the study of decorative art. The plates offer a wealth of information about the materials, techniques, and cultural contexts of the artwork they depict, and they provide a valuable reference for researchers and scholars.
In addition to the publication itself, our Albert Racinet Ancient Egypt art also includes a standard deck of 54 playing cards, featuring two joker cards. The cards are printed on embossed, blue-core card stock, ensuring a high level of quality and durability. The full-color, richly-printed artwork on the cards showcases the same stunning designs and vibrant colors found in the lithographic plates of "L'Ornement Polychrome."
The giftable flip-top box with magnetic closure not only protects the cards but also adds a touch of elegance to the overall presentation. The box measures 95 x 68 x 25mm, making it perfect for storing and displaying your Albert Racinet Ancient Egypt art collection.
Whether you're an art collector, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of vintage art and design, our Albert Racinet Ancient Egypt art is a must-have. It is a stunning tribute to the legacy of Albert-Charles-Auguste-Racinet and a testament to the power of art to transcend time and culture.
