Sphinx To Old Siem Analysis

Decent Essays
Hi Sam, 2 image. Identification: You can narrow the style of the Sphinx to Old Kindom. 7 Overall, great. Minor issues like a missing comma. "We don't normally call the person who the work is for or who commissioned the work the artist. Good sources. You will want to Italicize the names of artworks. Unfortunately, I cannot do that in my feedback section easily. Comparison: I think we have talked about the comparison section and found a good justification. This should be specific and narrow. Writing: Minor issues. Pharaoh is often capitalized. Missing some commas.

The chest is square and bulky, yet the features, such as the abdominal muscles and the pectoral muscles are barely defined because of a lack of modeling with the “omission of digitations or ribs” (Ridgway 1967: 50).

    Throughout ancient Egyptian history, art and culture remained constant to support the idea of “order over chaos.” However, in the mid-14th century BCE a revolution occurred in Egyptian society, culture, and religion, consequently causing a brief transformation in Egyptian art. These changes can be detected in the Relief of Princess with an Earring. This sculpture was made in the 18th Dynasty (1353-1336 BCE), during the reign of Akhenaten. Although only a portion of the limestone relief is displayed in the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology, the sculpture still demonstrates the attributes that are found in art from Amarna Period.…
