Editing Egyptian Revival architecture (section)

===Egyptian influence before Napoleon===
Much of the early knowledge about ancient Egyptian arts and architecture was filtered through the lens of the Classical world, including ancient Rome. Prior to [[Napoleon]]'s influence an early example is the [[Obelisk]] of [[Domitian]], erected in 1651 by [[Gian Lorenzo Bernini|Bernini]] on top of the [[Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi]] in [[Piazza Navona]], [[Rome]], which went on to inspire several Egyptian obelisks constructed in Ireland during the early 18th century. It influenced the obelisk constructed as a family funeral memorial by Sir [[Edward Lovett Pearce]] for the [[Viscount Allen|Allen family]] at [[Stillorgan]] in Ireland in 1717, one of several Egyptian obelisks erected in Ireland during the early 18th century. Others may be found at Belan, [[County Kildare]]; and Dangan, County Meath. [[Conolly's Folly]] in County Kildare is probably the best known, albeit the least Egyptian-styled.

Egyptian buildings had also been built as [[Folly|garden follies]]. The most elaborate was probably the one built by Duke [[Frederick I of Württemberg]] in the gardens of the [[Château de Montbéliard]]. It included an Egyptian bridge across which guests walked to reach an island with an elaborate Egyptian-influenced [[bath house]]. Designed by [[Jean-Baptiste Kléber]], later French commander in Egypt, the building had a billiards room and a [[bagnio]].

During the 2nd half of the 18th century, with the rise of [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassicism]], sometimes architects mixed the [[Ancient Greek architecture|Ancient Greek]], [[Ancient Roman architecture|Roman]] and [[Ancient Egyptian architecture|Egyptian]] styles. They wanted to discover new shape and ornament ideas, rather than to be just faithful copyists of the past.{{sfn|Bergdoll|2000|pp=23}}
