Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

One of the largest pieces of Egyptian sculpture in the British Museum, the upper part of the colossal statue of Ramesses II, also known as the Younger Memnon, was perhaps the first piece of Egyptian sculpture to be recognized as a work of art by connoisseurs, who traditionally judged things by the s tandards of ancient Greek art. Beautifully illustrated with photographs of the statue and contextual images, and including archival material relating to the British Museums acquisition, this book tells the story of this magnificent artefact, discussing alongside the draw of colossal Egyptian sculpture, the history of the reign of Ramesses II and the nature of the statues acquisition .
