Send me a message. • Asura Gallery: http://asuragallery.blogspot.com/ • Historia del Arte: http://anamurahistoriadelarte.blogspo... • Along the Nile River, the Egyptian civilization is formed. It is a civilization with its own personality. The religious conception and divine concept of royalty determine the creation of an official art, around beyond. The history of Egyptian art is usually divided into many stages as its history. It is said that it started in 3300 BCE, until 395 BCE, according to the historical divisions. • Sculptures in the round are very hieratics and they represents ideas and essences of the objects. The ideal canon of the human body was created. Compacts and statics. Cubic character. The pharaoh is an archetype where there is no individuality. The men are of a darker color than women, which are light in color. If women accompany a man, they are usually smaller or are even seized to the man. Made with stone and polychromed. • There are two kinds of sculpture: royal and courtesan. Royal are the pharaohs, archetypes. Courtesan is more realistic. • Statue of Djoser: the typical pharaoh sculpture with the characteristics said up. • Statue of Khefren: just the same, but you can see Horus in his head. • Menkaure Dyad: Menkaure appear with his chief queen, who girds her arms around the trunk of the Pharaoh as a sign of affection and admiration. • Menkaure Triad: high relief formed by the pharaoh Menkaure, the goddess Hathor and the divinity of the prefecture of Cinopolis. • Head of Userkaf: found in Saqqara, he has the Lower Egypt crown and is without the osirian beard. • Statue of Pepi I: two of statues one into the other made of copper. • Kneeling statue of Pepi I: he appear kneeling with two vessels in the hands. • Rahotep and Nefret: represent a man and a woman with the typical characteristics mentioned up aboutthe courtesan sculpture. Very realistic and with the typical polychrome. • Ankhhaf: he is son of the pharaoh Snefru. Is a very realistic sculpture made of stone, and was found in his mastaba, near the Pyramid of his brother Cheops. • Statues of Ranofer: something interesting about this is that the left one is a private sculpture, and the right one is public. You can see that the right sculpture has wig, that is because openly they had to have hair. • Seated Scribe (Louvre): its function was funerary, found in Saqqara. Body of stone and eyes of rock crystal. • Seated Scribe (Cairo): just the same, very realistic, but this one have wig. • Sheik-el-Beled: amazing sculpture made of wood very realistic. Represents a Chief of Priests, and not a Mayor. • The Dwarf Seneb and his family: very small sculpture, it represents the Chief of the Royal Wardrobe with his family. The wife grabs his arm, and his children are very small, at same position as the wife's legs. • Flat relief: reliefs found in the interior. • Sunken relief: reliefs found in the exterior. • Tomb of Hesire: various reliefs polychromed. You can see him with attributes of power, the offering table, wig, instruments of writing... It also stablished a canon of proportions, of 18 fists. • Mastaba of Ti: Ti was a official of the pharaoh Nyserre. His mastaba is at Saqqara. Here are hunt scenes, trying to create movement. • Tomb 100 of Hierakonpolis: a very old tomb where you can see clearly the main themes of the egyptian iconography - ships, massacre of the enemy, and domination of the animals. I spoke of this in the video of Predynastic Period. • Meidum Geese: a little necropolis next to the Meidum Pyramid has this painting. A scene of offerings and rural life. • Music: Hoping for real betterness by Age of Mythology • Photos taken in Google images. • No copyright infringement intended.
