Abstract

Why do ancient Egyptian statues so often have their noses, hands, or genitals broken? Although the Late Antiquity period appears to have been one of the major moments of large-scale vandalism against pagan monuments, various contexts bear witness to several phases of reuse, modification, or mutilation of statues throughout and after the pharaonic period. Reasons for this range from a desire to erase the memory of specific rulers or individuals for ideological reasons to personal vengeance, war, tomb plundering, and the avoidance of a curse; or simply the reuse of material for construction or the need to ritually “deactivate” and bury old statues, without the added motive of explicit hostility toward the subject in question. Drawing on the latest scholarship and over 100 carefully selected illustrations, Ancient Egyptian Statues proceeds from a general discussion of the production and meaning of sculptures, and the mechanisms of their destruction, to review the role of ancient statuary in Egyptian history and belief. It then moves on to explore the various means of damage and their significance, and the role of restoration and reuse.

Abstract

"Why do ancient Egyptian statues so often have their noses, hands, or genitals broken? Although Late Antiquity appears to have been one of the major moments of large-scale vandalism against pagan monuments, various contexts bear witness to several phases of reuse, modification, or mutilation of statues throughout and after the pharaonic period. Reasons for this range from a desire to erase the memory of specific rulers or individuals for ideological reasons to personal vengeance, war, tomb plundering, and the avoidance of a curse; or simply the reuse of material for construction or the need to ritually "deactivate" and bury old statues, without the added motive of explicit hostility toward the subject in question. Drawing on the latest scholarship and over 100 carefully selected illustrations, Ancient Egyptian Statues proceeds from a general discussion of the production and meaning of sculptures, and the mechanisms of their destruction, to review the role of ancient statuary in Egyptian history and belief. It then moves on to explore the various means of damage and their significance, and the role of restoration and reuse. Art historian Simon Connor offers an innovative and lucidly written reflection on beliefs and practices relating to statuary, and images more broadly, in ancient Egypt, showing how statues were regarded as the active manifestations of the entities they represented, and the ways in which they could endure many lives before being finally buried or forgotten."--

Abstract

Près d'un siècle après la découverte du tombeau de Toutankhamon, Europa Expo choisit Howard Carter, l'archéologue britannique responsable de sa mise au jour, comme narrateur de l'exposition qui a ouvert ses portes en décembre 2019. À l'approche de ce centenaire, l'enfant-roi est plus que jamais à la mode et au centre de l'actualité culturelle. En Égypte, l'on recherche activement le tombeau de sa reine, Ankhesenamon. En Amérique et en Europe, les événements se multiplient pour célébrer l'anniversaire de la fabuleuse découverte du trésor du pharaon, tandis qu'au Caire, le nouveau Grand Musée Égyptien s'apprête à ouvrir ses portes en présentant pour la première fois l'intégralité du mobilier funéraire au public. Toutankhamon est probablement aujourd'hui la star absolue de l'Égypte - même si ce n'est le cas que depuis 1922. C'est ce qui nous a poussés à choisir le titre de l'exposition: à l'époque de la quête de Carter, narrateur du parcours, le petit roi n'était, en effet, guère plus qu'un nom dans une liste de souverains. La raison de son choix comme sujet central de l'événement n'est pas due qu'à son nom qui évoque l'or des pharaons. Il est aussi le personnage idéal pour présenter au public l'histoire extraordinaire d'un égyptologue au début du XXe siècle, pour narrer l'aventure qui l'a mené à sa découverte, pour plonger ensuite dans la vie quotidienne, les croyances et la production artistique des anciens Égyptiens, pour observer comment les méthodes et moyens actuels de la recherche permettent d'en apprendre toujours davantage sur le passé, et enfin pour comprendre l'impact que cette découverte a pu avoir sur l'art, sur la science archéologique et égyptologique et sur la vision collective que l'on a désormais de la Vallée du Nil. Afin d'explorer ces thèmes, Europa Expo a choisi un parcours narratif, pédagogique, en présentant aux visiteurs les résultats des recherches les plus récentes concernant le petit roi, son mobilier funéraire et l'environnement dans lequel il a vécu.

Abstract

La statuaria è una delle produzioni più caratteristiche che la civiltà egizia ci abbia trasmesso. Le statue sono ovunque: in tutti i musei e in tutte le collezioni d’arte egizia, in tutti i siti archeologici le cui rovine si trovano oggi lungo il corso del Nilo. La collezione di statue del Museo Egizio comprende capolavori come la statua colossale di Ramesse II, qui mostrata con fotografie inedite. In parte esposta nel suggestivo allestimento curato dallo scenografo Dante Ferretti, è un osservatorio privilegiato attraverso cui analizzare ogni aspetto dello sviluppo di questa forma d’arte attraverso i millenni. Dalla scelta dei materiali alle posture dei soggetti, dalle diverse funzioni che svolgevano in base alla collocazione, Simon Connor spiega al lettore i segreti delle statue egizie in un racconto avvincente e arricchito da splendide fotografie inedite.
