Arte Egipcio

Synopsis of Arte Egipcio

Discover the extraordinary masterpieces of ancient Egypt in this catalog that brings together sarcophagi, statues, murals, and other eternal treasures created by anonymous masters from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period. Explore why these jewels, centuries old and declared World Heritage, are exhibited with the same honor as works by Michelangelo and Leonardo in museums from New York to Cairo. This book presents some of the most important pieces from the Old Kingdom, in the third millennium BC, to the Late Period. The volume collects sculptures, reliefs, sarcophagi, murals, masks, and ornaments. Most of the pieces are preserved in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, although others occupy prominent places, as World Heritage pieces, in museums such as the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum in London, the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, or the Metropolitan in New York.
