Vivant-Denon, Dominique (1747-1821)
View of Pompey`s Column in Alexandria, Egypt. 1798. The two figures on the right are probably Napoleon I and Denon. Kite-flying was probably a way of getting a line and then a rope over the capital of the column to haul up a soldier who would then fly the French colors from the top. Egypt, 1798. Watercolor. Inv. SD.314.
