DOWNLOAD EBOOKAncient Nubia was home to a series of civilizations between the sixth millennium BCE and 350 CE that produced towering monuments, including more pyramids than in neighboring Egypt, and artifacts of enduring beauty and significance. Nubia's trade network reached across the Mediterranean and far into Africa. At the time that Nubian kings conquered Egypt, in the middle of the eighth century BCE, they controlled one of the largest empires of the ancient world. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has the most extensive and important collection of ancient Nubian art outside of Khartoum, mostly gathered during the pioneering Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition in the first half of the 20th century. The objects highlighted in this volume include refined early ceramics, monumental statues and relief carvings made for royal pyramids, exquisite gold and enamel jewelry, playful decorations for furniture and clothing, and luxury goods traded from around the Mediterranean world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe enduring popularity and fascination with the art of Egypt is at the heart of this volume. This completely new survey sets out to shatter any conventional beliefs that Egyptian art is obsessed with funerary themes and full of static renderings of the human form. The authors present this art, which has a 7,000 year history, as a product of a civilization wholly different from our own. One hundred of the most significant pieces from the Brooklyn Museum of Art are chronologically organized, revealing how Egyptian 'art' developed and progressed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Guide to the Egyptian Galleries (Sculpture): With 39 Plates and 46 Illustrations in the Text This Guide contains descriptions of the Egyptian Sculptures and other Egyptian Antiquities which are exhibited on the Ground Floor, in a series of Galleries extending from north to south on the west side of the British Museum. The arrangement is, as far as possible, chronological. The monuments of the Ancient Empire arc placed chiefly in the Vestibule; those of the Middle Empire will be found in the Northern Gallery and Central Saloon; and in the Southern Gallery arc the Antiquities of the New Empire, and of the Saite, Ptolemaic, Roman and Christian Periods. For convenience of reference the monuments have been renumbered consecutively with numbers painted in the top centre of the plinths and frames. The old numbers are in the left-hand lower corners. Indexes to the two sets of numbers will be found on pp. 307 ff. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
