Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts Crafts of Ancient Egypt This present handbook is intended to aid in the understanding of Egyptian art, and the illustrations and descriptions are selected for that purpose only. The history of the art would require a far greater range of examples, in order to illustrate the growth and decay of each of the great periods; whereas here only the most striking works of each period are shown, in order to contrast the different civilisations. The origins and connections of the art in each age are scarcely touched, and the technical details are only such as are needed to see the conditions of the art. The archaeology of the subject would need as wide a treatment as the history, and these subjects can only appear here incidentally. It should be noticed that the divisions of artistic periods are often not the same as those of political history.

Download or read book A History of Art in Ancient Egypt Classic Reprint written by Georges Perrot and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Perrot was a French archaeologist, professor in the faculty of letters in Paris, and a prolific author. His book, entitled A History of Art in Ancient Egypt is a two volume set covering the art of Ancient Egypt via archaeological means and discovery. As an archaeologist, Perrot explored Greece, Asia Minor, and other famous locales for archaeological digging; his findings while on dig sites inspired a considerable amount of his writing. This particular series was written in tandem with co-author Charles Chipiez, who worked and studied alongside Perrot and was considered an equal authority in the field of archaeology by contemporaries. Together, these two men performed architectural studies on the most ancient monuments through careful observations of sculptures and ruins. After Chipiez's death, Perrot continued to write and publish books on their work together. This book contains a veritable well-spring of information on ancient Egypt and its culture. Specifically, the book explores several ancient structures of Egypt - their style and their architecture, as well as the materials used to make these and other Egyptian structures. No aspect of a given structure is too large or too small to warrant detailed discussion in this text, as the book explores everything from arches and cornerstones, to doors and windows. The book also contains detailed information on Egyptian artwork found at archaeological digs including sculptures, paintings, glass and pottery, jewelry, and metal work. One of the most remarkable features of A History of Art in Ancient Egypt is its artful use of illustrations, with almost six hundred engravings in the text and fourteen steel and colored plates used to great effect. Whether you're a casual reader looking to learn about the Ancient Egyptians or a scholar focusing in archaeology and ancient architecture, this book has something exciting for everyone!

Download or read book The Arts Crafts of Ancient Egypt written by W. M. Flinders Petrie and published by Diane Books Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great artifacts of Ancient Egypt owe much to the fertile banks of the Nile & the harsh African sunlight. The cool, windowless interiors of the great buildings of the Valley of the Kings, of Gizeh & Abu Simbel, provided broad surfaces to be inscribed with the hieroglyphics & illustrations that we recognize as Egyptian art. The religions of the river valley & the lives of the pharaohs furnished artists & craftsmen with ample themes. This richly illustrated book, first published in 1909, traces the artistic practices of the great dynasties through the statuary, paintings, reliefs, pottery & jewelry that have endured to the present day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in Egypt The art of Egypt, like all the rest of its civilisation, is the pro duct of the African soil. If it occasionally took ideas or methods of expression from the peoples with which it was brought into contact by the Pharaohs, its levies were not important enough in the first instance to exercise a durable influence upon its constitution. In a few years, it had so completely assimilated the substance of these as to leave us hardly sensible that any alien influences had interfered, even momentarily, with its ho mogeneity. It was only towards the end, when the race whose mind it had so admirably materialised and translated began to bow beneath the weight of over fifty centuries of existence, that it too declined, lacking strength to defend its superannuated traditions successfully against the new conceptions of beauty set before it by younger races.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts of Ancient Egypt: A Lecture Delivered Before the Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts Another foreign Introductlon was the burlal of Slave images. In the tombs of the period of the Empire images are generally found, bearing in either hand a hoe, and with a basket on the back an inscription around them recording that they were to be vivified in the future state, and work for the deceased person, cultivating his fields with the hoes and carrying the earth in the basket. Now these figures, which are found by the hundred in the later times of the Empire, are absolutely unknown in the Old or Middle King dom before the Hyksos invasion, and the earliest examples, Dr. Birch thinks, may belong to the eighteenth dynasty: the beginning of the Empire. These figures are evidently cheap substitutes for Slaves immolated at the grave of their master, to accompany him to the future world, a sub stitution in the same Spirit as the use of paper dollars by the Chinese in their ancestral offerings. And when we think of the ghastly Scythic funerals described by Hero dotus, and consider that during historic times we know the Scythians to have made inroads in the'southern parts of Asia, we can hardly fail to regard this ceremonial slave burial appearing first after the Hyksos invasion, as another of the Asiatic ideas imported into Egypt, and perhaps adopted by the Hyksos originally from more northern tribes.
