 Since
ancient Egyptian Statues were often painted in
very vivid colors, replicas of these items and
other Egyptian Décor have become very popular
in the world of interior decorating.
Unlike the Greeks and Romans who strove to create
realistic statues that embodied human movement,
the Egyptians had a style that was much more formal
and stiff in nature. They purposely did not strive
for realistic depiction, but rather the creation
of a powerful image.
Most Egyptian sculptures are religious in nature
as the ancient Egyptians believed that a person’s
soul would live on after death if the body was
preserved and a statue was created. As such, statues
were created for the Pharaoh and other high-ranking
government officials. These pieces were very symbolic
in nature and often conveyed a feeling of limitless
power.
Most Egyptian sculptures can be characterized
as being cubic and frontal. By cubic, we mean
that Egyptian Statues typically echoed the shape
and form of the stone block from which they were
carved. The front of the statue was also the main
focal point of every statue and nearly every piece
has its subject facing directly forward.
In essence, Egyptian Statues have
a very unique look that makeEgyptian Décor
an interesting choice for livening up a room.
