Title: The Quest for Immortality: Treasures of Ancient Egypt by Erik Hornung, Betsy Morrell Bryan, National Gallery of Art, United Exhibits Group ISBN: 0-89468-303-9 Publisher: National Gallery of Art Pub. Date: 01 April, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $55.01 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Beautifully illustrated catalog
Comment: This exhibition catalog is beautifully illustrated, with many of the photographs extremely clear and all of very high quality. Most inscriptions are readable; larger objects are not just shown whole, but also in detail. It is a pleasure to see some many objects from Tanis included - King Tut has been over-exposed and the Tanis objects are less well-known.
The introductory essays provide useful background information; the catalog item descriptions are useful but of varying depth.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great companion to a wonderful exhibit
Comment: The Quest for Immortality now at the National Gallery in Washington, DC is an eye-popping collection of famous items and unseen wonders from Cairo's Egyptian Museum. With the images fresh in your mind of the originals use the catalog articles to expand your knowledge of Queen Ahhotep and her jewels or the beauty of Nakhtmin's wife.
Don't miss my favorites the charming Ptolemaic bronze cat votive and the lapis lazuli Goddess Maat from the Third Intermediate Period.
