Painting and sculpture at the Pharaohs



Flourished the art of painting and engraving, and a senior Algair ancient Egypt; as evidenced by the walls of cemeteries and synagogues. The artist treated the walls with the surfaces as the design and carving, and try to invest all the available spaces. The fee was not the work of a single artist; that the work of painting and engraving in Ancient Egypt was carried out in three stages, and the contribution of several categories of artists: In each of these areas of expertise and specialization. In the first phase, the initial outline, which gives the main features of the figure. And start coloring in the second phase; the beginning of the larger spaces, and progress towards the details of color painting. Then comes the final phase, which outlines that give accurate details. It could be argued that were not there is a distinct difference between photography and painting and engraving. We divided the inscriptions, even though the two types, carving and drilling, none of the methods must be preceded by a drawing; the work of the original design and the identification of the initial lines. Pastes and used color, in painting, to fill in the blanks in the diagram. Often, the artist was the ancient Egyptian used to stabilize the color of materials, in order to prolong the age of color. Because the art was associated with religious architecture, the artist has been interested in filming and give importance to Arbab; through the provision of different types of sacrifices, and the recording of songs and prayers. The images at the same time, various aspects of daily life; which may enjoy the deceased in his tomb, and he carries with him to dwell. These scenes did not represent the specific facts or particular stages of significance or importance, but the scenes are various activities; such as agriculture, fishing, grazing, playing and fighting. In his portrayal of people, the artist applied the law of ancient Egyptian descent, which remained in use until the time of the twenty-sixth family. Under that law, the artist's surface equal to the square with a general outline of the human body. Based on the ratios between certain parts of the body, the filling of the boxes; that the work will be completed. It turned out that the side-view imaging, the typical approach to the representation of all parts of the body; although not a fixed-base profiling. Often, requests to show the details to the form of photography. The artist sometimes combining both; for example, making a side-head, and shoulders in front, side and lower part. The link between the arts and religion, even today the Greek - Roman. The inscriptions of religious and mythological themes, the coffins, one of the most important features of the art Alhllini. One of the most important additions are commonly used in that era, portray the human face in a manner similar to mid-art photography (portraiture) current. It also became popular as well as masks of mummies and funerary masks bearing the image of the deceased. These were placed directly on the face of the deceased; carrier profiles and the actual facial features, so that the spirit of the deceased identified the body. The coffins were often made in the same deceased person. In the third century AD, the icon attached to the person at his home until his death; and then affixed to his coffin. The icons that disappeared after the fourth century AD;, but returned to appear again in the sixth century. Can be traced the history of the emergence of photography as the art of portraiture, or to the second century AD, was launched in the tombs of early Christians. Photographers were not persons, at the outset, linked directly to the new religion; but Bible stories and symbolic themes gradually appeared, that started making the Virgin Mary and Jesus: directly and clearly. Can be divided photographs (portrait) to the three types, according to the method used in the filming. The first is the way Altmbra known since Pharaonic times, and used materials such as adhesive glue and egg whites; to give a simple color thinner (thickness). The second is the icon that was developed in a "Alonkocetk" which appeared in Egypt during the Roman era, and spread their Batlmip Alexandria, Fayoum and Sheikh worship. It was based on mixing colors with the addition of a small wax oil sometimes; giving the painting evokes the brilliant manifestation of the paintings. And remained that way until the century using the ten atheist century. The third is the way Alfiresc (Fresco); and used water colors. This simple method, based on mixing colors directly with water alone, without another mediator. The colors used on the wall wet by dry, Viszew two together. This method appeared in the Christian era, but did not last long. Imaging did not show the way in paintings, which is cheaper and easier, until the Byzantine era.
