Catch The Many Faces Of Nefertiti Picturized By Dietrich Wildung Expressed As Print

book mainly about the bust of Nefertiti and the Berlin Egyptian Museum, Interesting stuff and not really interesting stuff all presented in a good way, Looks a lot longer than it actually is, This is an interesting little book dedicated to the infamous bust of Nefertiti, exploring it from arthistory perspectives, It was an enjoyable read, though I would have liked clarification and an explanation about Wildung's depiction of the royal family tree Nefertiti as the daughter of Ay and Tey, Tey not Ay as Tiye's sister, and Smenkhkara as Nefertiti's brother and his theory that as Nefertiti adopted the mantle of a pharaoh, so did Akhenaten adopt the guise of a god.
Still, there might be more about that in sitelinkIn the Light of Amarna:Years of the Nefertiti Discovery Absolutely brilliant book! Couldn't fault it! Loved it! The Egyptian Museum in Berlin devotes an entire room to one of the most spectacular examples of Egyptian sculpture in existence: a limestone and stucco bust of Queen Nefertiti, created aroundBC by the court sculptor Thutmose, in whose studio Nefertiti herself stood as a model for the work.
It was this bust that, upon its discovery in, made the exceptionally beautiful queen the household name she is today, Celebrating theth anniversary of its discovery, this volume looks at the modern history of the bust, Dietrich Wildung, Director of the Egyptian Museum fromto, brings his

decade of familiarity to bear upon this worldfamous,,yearold sculpture, exploring its reception in twentiethcentury art and literature.
