Really fascinating. I have always been struck by the realism of the Fayum portraits- as if each person is still alive and waiting to share stories. And I sure can see how these influenced later icon-making. Judging by the exquisite Nefertiti sculpture, it seems like realistic art was already there in addition to the more stylized art. I look forward to the next part!
Fascinating dive into the rich tapestry of ancient Egyptian art and its enduring impact on later cultures! Your detailed exploration brings these ancient worlds to life. I'm curious, do you have any insights on how these artistic traditions influenced other aspects of ancient Egyptian society?

Absolutely fascinating. I know nothing about Ancient Egypt, and this makes me want to learn more about it. Really looking forward to part 2!
