Researchers documenting ancient Egyptian art in the city of Thebes say two massive reliefs have offered new insight into how artists worked.
By studying massive reliefs at the Temple of Hatshepsut, Anastasiia Stupko-Lubczynska from the University of Warsaw, said researchers now have a better insight into what the creation process was like and who made the art.
The reliefs – located in the largest room at the temple, known as the Chapel of Hatshepsut – were dedicated to the female pharaoh, Hatshepsut. She ruled from 1473 to 1458 BC.
The reliefs, nearly 13 metres long, depict 100 figures bringing offerings to the pharaoh and an offerings menu.
In a new paper published online on Wednesday by the journal Antiquity, Stupko-Lubczynska said the documentation team rendered the wall surfaces at a 1:1 scale on plastic-film sheets that were attached directly to the walls.
