Description
Statuette. Ancient Egypt. Late Antiquity, 664 - 323 BC.
Bronze.
Provenance: Private German collection.
Conservation: The lower part of the sculpture is missing as well as showing volumetric loss in the belly area.
Measurements: 9.2 cm high.
Statuette made in bronze, in round bulk, belonging to the Late Epoch or New Empire of Egypt. It probably represents a soldier. He wears a short skirt and an armoured torso. The simple headdress covers the nape of his neck and falls to his shoulders. He holds a tool or amulet in his left hand.
The Late Egyptian period was a period in which different artistic styles coexisted, which is why it is often referred to as eclecticism. After a period of Aegean and Asian influences that led to a softening of forms, Egyptian art moved towards a more realistic approach in the period of Amenhotep III, as seen in the "Portrait of the Pharaoh and Queen Tiyi", which culminated in the reign of Amenhotep IV. In the royal workshops the works are given a final treatment that accentuates the sensuality of the forms, as a result of the search for a new definition of the human body. Composite statues that swell the numerous busts of princesses. At the time of Ramses IV, the classical balance was restored, as can be seen in the group of the pharaoh seated between Isis, Osiris and Horus. In the sculptures of notable personages, the New Empire did not bring any variations, although a certain preference for offering figures can be discerned, "Ramsesnajt kneeling". In the lower period, the portraits of age, "green head" from Alexandria, persisted. In the New Empire the pharaoh is not so much the incarnation of divinity as the head of the nation, hence his deeds must be commemorated in visible places: Thutmes III subdues a group of Asians with his arm on the seventh pylon of Karnak, just as Amenophis II stands on his chariot on the third pylon of the temple of Amun-Ra. With Amenophis IV the king became Akhnaton and the solar god was represented on the reliefs of Tell-al-Amarna. It was from the 18th Dynasty onwards that the pylons of the temples featured large bas-relief decorations.
