Cnouphis-Nilus. (Jupiter-Nilus, Dieu Nil.) (1823 - 1825)

Léon-Jean-Joseph Dubois is the artist behind "Cnouphis-Nilus. (Jupiter-Nilus, Dieu Nil.)", dated 1823 - 1825. About the period around 1823 - 1825: The first half of the nineteenth century moved from Neoclassicism to Romanticism, which placed emotion, nature, and the sublime at the centre of painting. The invention of lithography around 1796 and its spread in these decades made printed images cheaper and more varied. It is listed in the Illustration collection. The image is in portrait orientation. Background on Illustration: The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are often described as a golden age of book and magazine illustration. Illustration serves a text or a story, a tradition that runs from decorated medieval manuscripts to printed book plates, magazines, and posters.
