The Beautiful Burial in Roman Egypt: Art, Identity, and Funerary Religion: Oxford Studies in Ancient Culture & Representation

Autor Christina Riggs
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 ian 2006
This important new study looks at the intersection of Greek and Egyptian art forms in the funerary sphere of Roman Egypt. A discussion of artistic change, cultural identity, and religious belief foregrounds the detailed analysis of more than 150 objects and tombs, many of which are presented here for the first time. In addition to the information it provides about individual works of art, supported by catalogue entries, the study explores fundamental questions such as how artists combine the iconographies and representational forms of different visual traditions, and why two distinct visual traditions were employed in Roman Egypt.

This study...takes a highly original approach and is important contribution to the topic...It is lavishly illustrated...an exciting reading with many original observations...this work is a tremendous importance for the study of the funerary art of Roman Egypt.
Invaluable...This study succeeds in placing the material in its rightful place as a fine example of what happens when three great artistic traditions meet and interact.
A pioneering study of the intersection of Greek and Egyptian art forms in the funerary sphere of Roman Egypt.
...impressive and richly documented...
The strength of this study is the detail and nuance of its discussion of the artistic material...a significant contribution.
The strength of the book lies in the selection and informative description of the ancicent material. This research fills a gap in the study of funerary practices in ancient Egypt
