Two of my paintings will be on display at the ISAC Museum of the University of Chicago until June 2025.
To celebrate the centennial of ISAC’s Epigraphic Survey and its headquarters at Chicago House in Luxor, Egypt, I have prepared two paintings that evoke the Survey’s early history and current fieldwork: a landscape view of the old Chicago House on the west bank of the Nile and a portrait of the current Rais (Foreman) of the Epigraphic Survey, Badawy Abdullah Muhammad Abdul Rahman. In addition to their connection with the Survey, the two paintings are also linked via Rais Badawy himself, who is a representative of the well-known Abdul Rasoul family, of which another descendant currently owns the old Chicago House, now operated as a popular hotel and restaurant for visitors to Luxor’s west bank. The portrait of Rais Badawy also stands as a tribute not only to an individual with whom I have worked for over a decade and who is a pillar of the Survey’s fieldwork, but also to all the skilled yet unsung local laborers in the history of archaeology.
