A History of Art in Ancient Egypt, Vol. 1 (of 2)
A History of Art in Ancient Egypt, Vol. 1 is the first part of the survey by Georges Perrot and Charles Chipiez, published in French in 1882 and in this English translation by Sir Walter Armstrong the following year. Perrot, a classical scholar, and Chipiez, an architect, begin with Egypt's place in history, the valley of the Nile and its people, the divisions of Egyptian chronology, the structure of society and the religion as they bear on art. The bulk of the volume is given to architecture: the principles of form and construction, the mastabas and pyramids of the Old Kingdom, the rock tombs of the Middle and New Kingdoms, and the temples of each period. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
