These remarkable works of art are the concrete expression of the ancient Egyptians' way of life and their attitudes to religion and the afterlife. In this clear and comprehensive introduction, Jaromir Malek deftly traces Egyptian art from its prehistoric origins, through 3, 000 years of astonishing achievements in the era of the pharaohs, to the conquest of Egypt by the Romans.","webReviews":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;By placing the material firmly in its social and cultural context, Malek is able to explain many of the subtleties and complexities of the relationship between life and art in the pharaonic period.
