Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This turned out to be exactly what I was looking for which was a basic explanation of Egyptian art. It is extremely well orgainzed and is not written in a dense fashion. The illustrations/photos of art have good, lengthy explanations next to them- telling you exactly what you are looking at, not just "wall painting from tomb". I really wish all art history books were this well written, lushly illustrated and frankly, affordable.

From the awesome grandeur of the Great Pyramids to the delicacy of a face etched on an amulet, the spellbinding power of ancient Egyptian art persists to this day. Spanning three thousand years, this beautifully illustrated history offers a thorough and delightfully readable introduction to the artwork even as it provides insight into questions that have long engaged experts and amateurs alike. In its scope, its detail, and its eloquent reproduction of over 250 objects, Gay Robins's classic book is without parallel as a guide to the art of ancient Egypt. And her eagerly awaited new edition includes many new color photographs and a fully revised and updated bibliography.
