Published in June 2002 by Somogy, this paperback exhibition catalog spans 143 pages and traces the artistic journey from ancient Egypt to the ruins of Pompeii. It brings together objects from private holdings, the Musée Condé, and the Château de Chantilly in France, presenting a curated view of classical antiquities that were once part of aristocratic collections. The catalog documents the exhibition’s thematic sections, offering insights into how Egyptian motifs influenced Roman decorative arts and how these artifacts were collected, displayed, and interpreted in early modern Europe. Illustrated with plates and accompanied by scholarly notes, the volume serves both as a record of the show and as a reference for researchers interested in the provenance and reception of ancient art in French collections. Its concise format makes it accessible to enthusiasts while providing sufficient detail for academic use.
