Art In Egypt (1912)

Art in Egypt is a book written by Gaston Maspero in 1912, which explores the ancient art of Egypt. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of Egyptian art. The first part covers the history of Egyptian art, from its beginnings in the prehistoric era to the end of the Pharaonic period. The second part delves into the symbolism and iconography of Egyptian art, including the use of hieroglyphics and the representation of gods and goddesses. The third part examines the different types of Egyptian art, such as sculpture, painting, and architecture, and how they evolved over time. The final part of the book discusses the influence of Egyptian art on other cultures, including the Greeks and Romans. Throughout the book, Maspero provides detailed descriptions and analysis of various artworks, as well as historical and cultural context.
