Les prémices et réminiscences de l'art amarnien dans les tombes provées

Abstract

Pharaonic Egyptian art extends over more than three thousand years. During these millennia, a brief period of barely seventeen years profoundly disrupted the artistic homogeneity of the ancient Egyptians, who were nevertheless deeply attached to tradition. Amarna art stands out from traditional Egyptian art through its themes, its spatial organization, but also its treatment of the human figure.This article repositions amarnian art within a dynamic of continuity rather than rupture. It highlights, on the one hand, the beginnings of this style as early as the end of the reign of Amenhotep III, notably in the tomb of Kheruef, and, on the other hand, its reminiscences in later contexts such as the tomb of Neferhotep, as well as those of Inerkhaouy and Ipouy.
