Ancient Egypt In The Late Period

298 Words2 Pages

For most people, Ancient Egyptian Art is immediately recognizable because of the consistent style; both the Egyptian Empire and its art style persisted for close to three thousand years with very few changes. Ancient Egypt had many conventions regulating the way in which figures, especially of powerful people, were depicted. Idealized proportions, symbols of status, and expensive materials aided artisans in their quest to represent the ideals of power and divinity. During the Late Period, the Egyptians created many works of art despite being faced with political threats from foreign invaders. James Allen and Marsha Hill, in their essay “Egypt in the Late Period (ca. 712–332 B.C.)” (2004), observe that the arts combined a traditional style reminiscent

  • Historical Impact Of Egyptomania

    746 Words  | 3 Pages

    The exaggeration and fantasization of certain histories has always been prevalent in Western society, however, nothing comes quite as close to being as diluted as the history of ancient Egypt. On a fundamental level, this phenomenon can be defined as Egyptomania: an obsessive interest by Westerners in ancient Egyptian culture, especially during the 19th century. While there is a lot of literature pertaining to Egyptomania in American culture, there is far less that addresses its impact on late 19th century British culture. Though the initial ancient Egyptian archaeological discoveries occurred during the time of Napoleon’s campaigns, most notably the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799, the early 19th century in Britain did not see the same spark in Egyptomania as the late 19th century. This, no doubt, is related to the period of time that Great Britain occupied Egypt.
