Ancient Egyptian art must be viewed from the standpoint of the ancient Egyptians to understand it. The somewhat static, usually formal, strangely abstract, and often blocky nature of much Egyptian imagery has, at times, led to unfavorable comparisons with later, and much more "naturalistic," Greek or Renaissance art. However, the art of the Egyptians served a vastly different purpose than that of these later cultures. | |||
