What reading level is Art in Egypt book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
476.— HEAD OF A STATUE (The Louvre, Paris).
246 FIG. 477.— BUST OF A STATUE (Museum, Cairo). (Phot. E. Brugsch.) Digitized by VjOOQIC THE SAFTE AGE the paraphernalia of images and vases was reduced almost to nothing? Christ and his saints did not hide in dim recesses, and did not rigorously exclude certain categories of the faithful ; they flung wide their doors, and allowed all who joined their community to approach them freely. Those of the Egyptians who rallied to them could not help renounc...ing their national architecture, as they had renounced their national writing; both were too close a reflection of the antique religion to survive it.
B. SCULPTURE.
Sculpture did not offer sudi a vigorous resis- tance to the action of centuries as architecture ; yet it had its happy seasons, and at various times produced works which deserve to rank very highly in the estimation of our contempor- aries.
Many of these works were still of the Theban school. We know how, rather more than a century after the death of Rameses III., the priests of Amon usurped authority and ruled over the Thebaid, sometimes under the title of High Priest, sometimes under that oiF King.
