A History of Art in Ancient Egypt, Vol. 1 (of 2) by Perrot and Chipiez
"A History of Art in Ancient Egypt, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Perrot and Chipiez is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the development of ancient Egyptian art and architecture from its inception to its relationship with other ancient civilizations and its significance within the broader context of art history. The text aspires to trace the evolution of Egyptian art
while delving into its connections with the culture, religion, and social structures of the time. The opening of the volume lays the groundwork for the subsequent exploration of Egyptian civilization, emphasizing the necessity of understanding the ancient art forms within their historical context. The authors argue that art serves as a crucial indicator of a civilization's values and beliefs, asserting that Egyptian art, while lacking individual expression, reflects the collective spirit of its society. The preface also highlights the transformative discoveries in Egyptology that have emerged since the writings of ancient historians like Herodotus, illustrating how modern research has redefined our understanding of antiquity. Overall, this foundational part sets the stage for a thorough examination of Egyptian art, its characteristics, and its enduring legacy in the history of art.
