The aesthetic qualities
of ancient Egyptian art are greatly admired in our modern
day and age, however. Ancient Egyptian art, like any other
artistic expression of a given period, reflected the social
and cultural milieu from which it emerged. Additionally, the
physical and geographical environment played a major role
in the initial development of what may be define as typical
anceint Egiptian art.
Although the Egyptians expressed themselves and their culture
in many artistic ways, the present text deals solely with
the so-called "major arts" : sculpture, painting,
and sculptured relief. Architecture, which is also one of
the major arts, will not be discussed here since it is rather
lengthy a topic. Painting and sculpture are two artistic expressions
with which all are familiar, however, the principle of sculptured
relief might be foreign to many. Sculptured reliefs, in very
simple words, are basically drawings that have been carved
on flat surfaces, stone walls and slabs being the prominent
surfaces. Expectedly, the art of the Old Kingdom reflects
the economic prosperity of the country and the skill of the
artists trained in royal workshops while the crude sculptures
and paintings of the First Intermediate Period are the result
of a country stricken by famine and civil war, where untrained
artisans imitated to the best of their ability the art of
the previous epoch.
