More re new Nebamun gallery at the British Museum
Suite 101 (Stan Parchin)
As usual Stan has written an excellent overview, looking at the background to the Nebamun paintings, the restoration work and the new gallery.
Excavated from the tomb-chapel of Nebamun, now lost, the 11 paintings represent a pinnacle in Egyptian two-dimensional representation of fauna and flora. Created before the advent of more naturalistic art from the short-lived reign of the religiously revolutionary pharaoh Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten (r. 1353-1336 B.C.), they're joined by one additional fragment loaned to the prestigious London institution by Berlin's Ägyptisches Museum.
