Egyptian art is undoubtedly the artistic manifestation that has most subjugated modern man.
Egyptian civilization not only created an architecture, sculpture and painting of impressive beauty, but also a whole culture that has made researchers, writers and ordinary people dream, where the historical, the mythical and the mysterious merge.
Egyptian art is an art that is closely related to the medium in which it is developed. This medium influences different aspects: on the one hand the geographical environment determines a closed culture that makes art impervious to external influences, which will evolve little and when it does, it will be on its own forms due to the lack of communication with the outside world.
On the other hand, the medium will determine some materials that indicate a lack of concern for earthly life and a desire to eternalize the morals of the deceased and the god, so that art is often in function of temples and tombs. This is related to the two determining factors of art that are also given by the medium: monarchy and religion.
Thus, the Pharaoh (and the nobles) and the priests will be the main customers. It is an aulic and official art, which is developed fundamentally by virtue of religion, and to this is linked the pharaoh. It is therefore not an autonomous art.

Egyptian art is always subject to rules, so it is very similar and monotonous, so homogeneous. It is a stereotyped art in which precision of finish is valued more than originality. In addition, they have a great symbolic and magical character.
