5.0 out of 5 stars the spirituality of art 14 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
the british museum has a stunning collection of egyptian art works and with its rennovation work the loan exhibition that was called 'eternal egypt' came into being.

this book is a superb catalogue of that exhibition. logically designed in chronological order so as to show the development of egyptian art, as well as its reference to religion and higher spirituality. it is lavishly illustrated with art that still inspires awe.

it is a well written book for art lovers, those interested in egyptology as well as those with a more scholarly need ~ with its referencing and backup information of the artefacts. the contributors are scholars held in high regard and esteem ~ specialists in their chosen fields and it shows. a great great reference book ~ not only of the 'eternal egypt' exhibition, but of a great collection in a great museum.

the opening chapters, putting the art into historical perspective as well as the museum's place as one of the three greatest collections of egyptian art and artefacts leads the reader, with interest, into the core study of the book ~ the art its self.

a great book worth its price

5.0 out of 5 stars Eternal Egypt: Masterworks of Ancient Art from the British Museum 10 Oct 2012
By William L. Robinson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the catalog from a traveling exhibit from the British Museum. I wish that I had been aware of this exhibit when it came through the Midwest region of the US. This is a beautiful book, with spectacular color photographs. The text is probably the even better. The one regret I have, about which some people will think that I am crazy, is that the photographs are not in black & white and done with a large format camera. I always compare any photographs to the incredible photographs done by Harry Burton back in the 1920's.
