PING
Thank you
Gee, I thought the Egyptians were black. That’s what they teach you in politically corrected public high school.
Interesting. All the portraits are of people who are recognizably contemporary middle easterners.
The next utube has some statues of Ramses II who ruled 1000 years earlier. He looks like the pillsbury doughboy. ie not middle eastern at all.
Hmm! The eyes are amazing. Thx for the ping.
Thank you so much for keeping on with your Fine Arts series !
One learns something (s) new from every one.
The fact that the Egyptians painted at this level is in such contrast from the stone carvings found in royal tombs. While the quality of the craftsmanship is exquisite the faces were always done in profile, and to me did not come close to these in reveling the humanity of the subjects.
I can’t draw a stick figure to save my life. I find the ability of artists to actually capture portraits, or for that matter any realist subject to be nothing short of miraculous.
Beautiful. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for posting that link. Great video.
