Egyptian Art has its origin mainly from the worship of the dead. That’s what
determinates the most important types of construction,
sculpture, and it’s the principal thematic of its paints. The realism is
important to assure the identity between the image and the things that are represented. It’s the only way art can get the properties from those things according to the conception of the duality and the faith that there is another spiritual world. Egyptian society has a divisional and hierarchical character. This
determinates the codification of Egyptian art, the conventionalism and the repulse to anything new. Paintings are all around in funerary monuments where the walls are covered with scenes from daily occupations of the dead. The Egyptian art had rigid codes. They used to represent everything in profiles, because they don’t know the laws of perspective. The paintings were made on a layer of gypsum. The paint was made of glue and minerals.
