First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: New. Illustrated (illustrator). First Edition. Lakewood: Prestel, 2002. First edition. 4to. Oversize trade paperback, stiff covers. 288 pp. Illustrated throughout in color. The "Quest for Immortality" accompanies an exhibition of Egyptian funerary art by the same name, which dates from nearly two thousand years before the Common era. Drawn from the collection of Cairo's Egyptian Museum, this major exhibition opens at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. in 2002 and travels throughout the United States over a five-year period before an extended tour in Europe. Objects such as coffins, tombs, masks, papyri, sarcophagi, and monumental and small-scale sculpture reveal the reverence and awe with which this highly developed culture considered the mystery of death. Fascinating essays explore Egyptian art history, customs, and worship, with specific focus on the Amduat, a book devoted to the pharaoh's twelve-hour journey to the afterlife. Additional writings detail the background of the collection and focus upon the role of art in ancient Egypt. Throughout, reader will experience the artistry of the ancient Egyptians as it comes to life in this magnificent book. New.
