| Hundreds of beautiful art works from the time of Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Tutankhamen illustrate the splendour of Egypt in this fascinating, readable examination of Egyptian art and culture at the time of the city of Amarna.
This is a catalogue of the millennium exhibition of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, described by The National Endowment for the Humanities as 'the most exciting of the Egyptian exhibitions to date, because of its approach to the ancient period through themes of daily life'. Essays by leading Egyptologists describe the Amarna Period, a time of unprecedented changes - in Egyptian art and architecture, technology, the role of women in religion and government - and the dramatic break with polytheism in favour of monotheism. Sculpture, architectural elements, ceramic ware, jewellery, clothing, tools and furniture illustrate the culture of this period. More than 400 illustrations of these objects from such renowned collections of ancient Egyptian art as those of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Agyptisches Museum in Berlin, the British Museum, and the Louvre are reproduced in this handsome volume.
