In Egypt as in many other places, the concept of sculpture, painting and architecture overlap, and do so of necessity. The architecture itself is a combination of all three. Any detailed material related to Egyptian painting must of necessity include information about bas-relief as well as the painting of three dimensional images. Any information about sculpture may include such things as the sculpture of architectural elements as well as free standing pieces. So I hope you will find the listings below to be of use as they will incorporate all of these elements.

You will find even more included in the pages listed above.

Detroit Institute of Arts : Permanent Collection - Ancient Art - Egypt __ "The works here demonstrate the basic principles of Egyptian sculpture in its symbolic formality. For over three thousand years the Egyptians adhered to a prescribed set of rules as to how a work of art in three dimensions should be presented. Egyptian art was highly symbolic and a painting or sculpture was not meant to be a record of a momentary impression. Apparent differences were the result of subtle changes, not an altered conception of art or its role in society."
