Egypt
Exhibition: Philippe de Montebello Years Exhibit at The Met
Suite 101 (Stan Parchin)
A summary of the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which includes in its 300 objects the Two Princesses:
Two Princesses (Egyptian, Dynasty 18, ca. 1349-1336 B.C.), a fragmentary limestone relief, depicts daughters of monotheistic Pharaoh Akhenaten (r. 1353-1336 B.C.), the father of Tutankhamun (r. 1332-1322 B.C.). Here the children warmly embrace in a relaxed pose uncharacteristic of earlier Egyptian art. An important gift from the collector Norbert Schimmel (1904-1990), the painted sculpture has enhanced one's understanding of ancient Egypt's religiously revolutionary Amarna Period.
