Egyptian Art in the Days of the Pharaohs, 3100-320 B.C.

In this authoritative and splendidly illustrated guide Cyril Aldred surveys nearly 3000 years of Egyptian architecture, painting and sculpture. His "eloquent ability to weave facts, insights and interpretations into a compulsively readable account sets his book far above the clogged texts that too frequently pass for art history. Aldred tells how Egyptian art was shaped by historical events, religious requirements, and environmental forces and also explains how artists and craftspeople developed their amazing technical mastery.
