The book Art of Ancient Egypt presents a concise survey of the artistic development in Ancient Egypt, structured chronologically and grounded in theory. The author traces key periods — the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom, and later times — and explores architecture, sculpture, reliefs, and painting, along with the interplay between art and religion, ideology, and society. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of formal and symbolic features (for example proportions, composition, symbolism) and on the societal role of artworks.
