Ancient Art is something that we marvel in the present period knowing that it was made by human DNA that we share some of today. Perhaps, no other art or artifacts have captured the human spirit and imagination as much as ancient Egyptian Art. So, let me recommend a very good book to you:
“Treasures of Egyptian Art from the Cairo Museum” (Centennial Exhibit 1970-1971) by Edward L.B. Terrace and Henry G. Fischer; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art). Thames and Hudson Limited, London; 1970.
The foreword of this fine art book was written by none other than Dr. Sarwat Okasha; The Minister of Culture; Cairo, UAR. Each picture is narrated by either Edward Terrace former Director of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston or Henry Fischer, Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
This book depicts samples of Egyptian Art from 3,000 B.C through 324 A.D. For those who are heartened by the history of these periods in Egypt, you will be amazed by the work done and the explanation of the lives of the rules, their history, attributes, accomplishments, personal failures, dynasties, architecture and families.
The descriptions of each piece of art shown in this wonderful art book are superbly done and the photography is crisp, realistic and gives the reader a feeling as if he or she was actually there thrown back in time and then thrust forward to view the remnants of the artifacts of each past period.
Indeed, I completely recommend this book for anyone who has a fascination with Egyptian Art, its one of the best books on this topic I’ve ever seen.
