The millennium exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston was described as 'the most exciting of Egyptian exhibitions to date, because of its approach to the period through themes of
everyday life'.
This catalogue brings to life the extraordinary world of ancient Egypt through more than 250 beautiful works of art, while essays by leading Egyptologists describe the Amarna period, a time of unprecedented changes – in art and architecture, technology, the role of women in religion and government – and the dramatic break with polytheism.
Sculpture, architectural elements, ceramics, jewelry, clothing, tools and furniture illustrate the culture of this period. More than 400 illustrations of these objects from renowned collections – such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Ägyptisches Museum in Berlin, the British Museum and the Louvre are reproduced in this handsome volume.
