The Parallels of Egyptian and Western Culture Ancient Egypt was a time of discovery, knowledge, and the need for power in the ancient civilization.

1819, Paris, France. The elite of the art world wander through the halls of the Paris Salon. The art that surrounds them is traditional for the era, classic already: idealized, religious and mythological depictions. But then their eyes catch on a painting on the other side of the room: 16’ by 23’, it swallows them. They advance, slowly at first and then quicker to match the swell of their pulses. They stand before Le Radeau de la Méduse (The Raft of the Medusa), breathing in the horror of its…

The French Revolution (1789 – 99) had ramifications for all aspects of French life as well as influencing thought and society much more widely.
