Egyptian Painting by Arpag Mekhitarian

Arpag Mekhitarian offers a lucid survey of ancient Egyptian painting, tracing its evolution, techniques and enduring conventions from Old Kingdom tombs through later periods. Published by Rizzoli in 1978, the book is richly illustrated with colour reproductions of murals, papyri and painted reliefs, accompanied by concise commentary on iconography, materials and context. A thoughtful synthesis of the field at the time, it balances close visual analysis with a broad historical perspective.
