3.0 out of 5 stars Old book, new cover, September 28, 2001

By A Customer

This volume is actually a re-issed version of his earlier work. the illustration are fine, but the text is dated & sometimes a little skewed by his own theories. It is not a bad place to start one's reading, but really reflects the scholarship of 30 or more years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful introduction to Egyptian Art, February 12, 2001

By	Robert (Buenos Aires, Capital Federal Argentina) - See all my reviews

Dr. Aldred does not need to be introduced: he is one of the most distinguished Egyptologists at the present time; being an expert in the subject, it is not surprising that this historical overview of ancient Egyptian Art should be recommended to anyone interested in following its steps from the beginnings to the end of Pharaonic History. Well-written, with many color and b&w illustrations cleverly chosen to enhance the contents. There are the too-often reproduced "masterpieces", but also several objects of interest not easily accesible to general public. Highly recommended also for lovers of the History of Arts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Distinguished author, but why?
Upon a recommendation from a professor of Egyptian art, I bought this book in hopes of gaining a basis of knowledge (being completely ignorant of the subject). Read more
