NEW! The Amarna Style: Ancient Egyptian Art During the Reigns of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun

Description

The style of Ancient Egyptian art was the most consistent and long lasting of any civilization in history. However, for a short period of time in the 14th century BCE, it changed due to the dictates of a revolutionary Pharaoh named Akhenaten. This new Amarna style was characterized by a more naturalistic aesthetic. This style persisted into the reign of his son Tutankhamun whose tomb treasures give us the most complete examples of this new dynamic art style.
