Step into the golden age of ancient Egyptian art! In this episode of Armchair Art Share, host Andrew explores the New Kingdom (c. 1550–1070 BCE)—a time of immense power, prosperity, and artistic brilliance.
From the colossal Temple of Karnak, dedicated to Amun-Ra, to the breathtaking Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut carved into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahri, we’ll uncover how Egypt’s rulers used art and architecture to express divine kingship and cosmic order.
You’ll also meet the silent Colossi of Memnon, gaze upon the dazzling treasures of Tutankhamun’s tomb, and witness the artistic revolution of the Amarna Period under Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Through temples, sculptures, and sacred treasures, the New Kingdom stands as the height of Egyptian creativity—where devotion met design, and eternity took shape in gold and stone.
