Product Description

Hundreds of beautiful artworks from the time of Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Tutankhamen illustrate the splendour of Egypt in this examination of Egyptian art and culture at the time of the city of Amarna. During the 14th century BC, Armana was founded by Akhenaten to promote his new religion and for 12 years was the capital of the world's greatest empire. However, after Akhenaten's death, Tutankhamen abandoned the city, demolishing all traces of his predecessor. In this catalogue of the millennium exhibition of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the world of Ancient Egypt comes to life through more than 250 illustrations. Essays by leading Egyptologists describe the Amarna Period, a time of unprecedented changes in art and architecture, technology, in women's roles in religion and government - and the dramatic change with polytheism in favour of monotheism. The images include sculpture, architectural elements, ceramics, jewellery, clothing, tools and furniture from collections worldwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amarna Delight!, 3 Feb 2009

By	Sue Moseley (Hampshire, England. www.suemoseley.com) - See all my reviews

If you are interested in the Amarna period of Ancient Egypt then don't miss this book. I would describe it as more of a collection of articles by different specialists, and this makes it really interesting to read. Each specialist focuses on one aspect of like at Akhetaten (modern day name Amarna) and illustrates the article with photos of the treasures uncovered over the past 150 years.
I have never seen a book so well illustrated. Photographs are in full colour and the provenance is given for each artifact. The current location of each piece is given for those of us who enjoy touring museums.
Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in this fascinating period of history, the general reader and scholars alike.
