We recognise a few to this day. Amun-Ra, the solar god of creation. Horus, the falcon god of kingship. Hathor, the celestial goddess of motherhood, beauty and joy. Osiris, the reanimated god of the ‘otherworld’, where the souls of the dead journeyed to be judged. | We recognise a few to this day. Amun-Ra, the solar god of creation.

The material study of ancient Egyptian paintings began with the advent of Egyptology during the 19th century. By the 1930s, a lot had already been sampled and described. The limited palette for example has been analysed from actual painted surfaces but also from pigments and painting tools retrieved on site. However, most of these studies took place in museums while the painted surfaces, preserved in funerary chapels and temples, remained somewhat estranged from this primary physical understanding. | |||
