The Painted Tomb-Chapel of Nebamun: Masterpieces of Ancient Egyptian Art in the British Museum
No Customer Reviews
Oxbow says: Among the finest treasures of the British Museum are eleven fragments of paintings from the tomb-chapel of the Egyptian official Nebamun, c.1350BC. Since 1997, a programme of conservation and research has focused on these paintings, making possible their publication in this superbly illustrated book. Richard Parkinson includes all the known background history to the paintings, from Luxor to London, along with detailed descriptions of the paintings accompanied by stunning colour photographs. Some of the scenes include funerary offerings, a banquet, Nebamun viewing the produce of the estate, agricultural scenes, fishing and fowling in the marshes and Nebamun's garden, providing insights not just into the life of an Egyptian official, but also more generally into Egyptian culture and society.
