Generously illustrated, this handy reference tool catalogues the sculptured reliefs of the Amarna period from Hermopolis that are represented in American collections. Each relief is illustrated with an accompanying photograph and is given a physical and artistic description. Numerous subjects are represented in the reliefs: the royal family, the court circle, horses and chariots, flora and fauna, musicians, daily life scenes, architecture, and an offering scene. The material was compiled and described by John Cooney, Curator of Egyptian and Classical Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Only 2000 copies of this museum book were ever printed, making it an unexpected find in new condition. |
|  | Images for Eternity by Richard Fazzini
Sumptuously illustrated with both black and white and color photographs, Images for Eternity presents the objects displayed in 1975 at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Temporarily receiving the Egyptian collection from the Brooklyn Museum and additional pieces from the Lowie Museum, the San Francisco exhibition was immortalized in this publication. Egyptian artifacts from 4000 to 40 B.C.E. were photographed and briefly described. This show book was intentionally designed to keep the reader interested in the artworks themselves rather than the explanatory notes. As a record of the arts of ancient Egypt, this collection is sure to please those with an eye towards art history and the development of artistic styles of one of the cradles of classical civilization. |
