ANCIENT ART: Function of Egyptian
- The purpose of Egyptian artwork
- The recipient could manifest and reap the rewards of ritual activity in statues. Since statues were made to face the ritual being performed in front of them, the majority of them display a formal frontality, which is when they are oriented straight forward.
- One should never forget the basic function of the majority of Egyptian sculpture, which is to depict the individual in death before Osiris or in life and death before the deities of the great temples, when examining the obvious sculptural qualities of Late period work.
- Similar to representational art, the architecture sought to conserve forms and customs that were believed to reflect the world's beauty at the moment of creation and to exemplify the proper relationship between humanity, the king, and the pantheon of gods.
- Even while these tiny images don't always represent what they're meant to; many are actually phonetic sounds, hieroglyphs were frequently depicted as little pieces of art in and of themselves. However, some are logographic, which means they represent a specific thing or idea. In many circumstances, the distinction between text and image is hazy.
- The actual physical shape of the parts isn't all that significant because their primary purpose is to enclose and move across space.
- Aside from the pyramids, Egyptian structures featured paintings, sculptured pictures in stone, hieroglyphs, and three-dimensional statues as decorations. Pharaohs, gods, regular people, and the natural world's flora, birds, and animals are all depicted in the artwork.
