Get a clear picture of what Ancient Egyptian art history is all about and its characteristics. From tombs, to reliefs, and more, the art from Ancient Egypt tells an incredible story of religion, kings, and an advanced society.

In this video, I cover the main characteristics and themes within the five main periods of Ancient Egyptian art history, along with analysis of famous artworks (often taught in art history classes) from each of these periods:

1. Pre-Dynastic - Palette of Narmer
2. Old Kingdom - Statue of Kafre Enthroned and The Seated Scribe
3. Middle Kingdom - Statue of Senusret III
4. New Kingdom - Statue of Akhenaten
5. Late Period and beyond - Mummy Egyptian portraits
