From Berlin to Boston, and St Petersburg to Sydney, ancient
Egyptian art fills the galleries of some of the world's greatest
museums, while the architecture of Egyptian temples and pyramids
has attracted tourists to Egypt for centuries. But what did
Egyptian art and architecture mean to the people who first made and
used it - and why has it had such an enduring appeal? In this Very
Short Introduction, Christina Riggs explores the visual arts
produced in Egypt over a span of some 4,000 years. The stories
behind these objects and buildings have much to tell us about how
people in ancient Egypt lived their lives in relation to each
other, the natural environment, and the world of the gods.
Demonstrating how ancient Egypt has fascinated Western audiences
over the centuries with its impressive pyramids, eerie mummies, and
distinctive visual style, Riggs considers the relationship between
ancient Egypt and the modern world. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very
Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains
hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized
books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas,
and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
