Riggs C., Ancient Egyptian Art and Architecture — 2014 (Very short introductions. 403)
Аннотация: Ancient Egyptian art evokes images of hieroglyphs, mummies, and masks, and its distinctive visual style makes it a highlight at some of the world's greatest museums. At the same time, the architecture of its tombs, temples, and pyramids has attracted visitors to the land of Egypt for centuries. In this Very Short Introduction Christina Riggs explores the variety of arts produced in Egypt over a span of 3,500 years. Examining the stories behind these objects and buildings, Riggs looks not only at what they can tell us about ancient Egyptian life, but also how their legacy continues to shape the contemporary world.
