his important new study looks at the intersection of Greek and hgyptian art forms
m
the funerary
sphere of Roman Egypt, from the generation just before its conquest by Rome to the early Byzantine era.
A discussion of artistic change, cultural identity, and religious belief foregrounds the detailed analysis of
more than
150
objects and tombs, many of which
яге
presented here for the first time. In addition to the
information it provides about individual works of art, supported by catalogue entries, the study explores
fundamental questions such as how artists combine the iconographies and representational forms of
different visual traditions, and why two distinct visual traditions were united in Roman Egypt.
This book differs from other studies of funerary art in Roman Egypt in considering the numerous
woiks of art that did not rely on naturalistic Greek art forms (like portraits), or that subsumed Greek
features into an otherwise Egyptian setting. Although the coffins, masks, and other works considered
here have often been dismissed as crude, anomalous, or eccentric by previous scholarship,
presemina
them
in their archaeological and cultural context reveals the intentions, working practices, and inventiveness
of the artisans who created beautiful burials for their patrons, in the words of a contemporary funerary
papyrus. In a changing cultural landscape, the constancy of Egyptian mortuary practice met a need in
local communities, and close scrutiny of the texts and art from such burials also reveals a wealth of detail
about individuals lives and deaths, from their names, professions, and family relationships to the roles of
age, gender, and status within the social structure. At the same time, the beautiful burial had an ultimate
goal
—
the glorification of the dead.
