Summary: HISTORY OF ART / ART & DESIGN STYLES. A defining record of Islamic art and architecture. Emile Prisse d'Avennes (1807-1879), a French Orientalist, author, and artist, was one of the greatest pre-20th-century Egyptologists. With a keen eye for the symmetry, opulence, and complexity of local visual cultures, d'Avennes recorded the art and architecture which he encountered on his travels. His work would later become one of the most outstanding surveys on Islamic art and architecture, Arab Art (L'Art arabe d'apres les monuments du Kaire), published between 1869 and 1877 in Paris.
