The artwork titled “Egyptian no. 7” is a creation by Owen Jones, a prominent figure within the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This piece belongs to the design genre and is part of the “The Grammar of Ornament” series, published in 1856.
The artwork features a series of intricate, repeating patterns inspired by Egyptian motifs, displayed in a grid-like fashion. Each individual design comprises vivid colors such as deep reds, blues, goud, greens, and whites, arranged in symmetrical patterns that evoke the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. The overall effect is a harmonious blend of geometry and organic forms, showcasing the detailed craftsmanship and artistic vision characteristic of Jones’ work in the Art Nouveau style. The ornamental designs vary from abstract geometric patterns to stylized representations of natural elements, exemplifying a diverse yet cohesive aesthetic sensibility.
