what were the profound artistic changes akhenaten made during his reign??

Question

quick summary please

Answer 1

"A new culture of art was introduced during this time that was more naturalistic and a complete turnabout from the stylised frieze that had ruled Egyptian art for the last 1700 years. Concerning art and Akhenaten, an area of interest to many Egyptologists is the peculiarity of Akhenaten's physical features. Many pharaohs are portrayed in a stylized manner however, Akhenaten is shown in paintings and carvings with unusually feminine features, specifically wide hips and elongated, delicate facial features. Some theories assume that the depiction is accurate and not stylized, suggesting that Akhenaten suffered from birth defects which were common among the royal families."

"Styles of art that flourished during this short period are markedly different from other Egyptian art, bearing a variety of affectations, from elongated heads to protruding stomachs, exaggerated ugliness and the beauty of Nefertiti. Significantly, and for the only time in the history of Egyptian royal art, Akhenaten's family was depicted in a decidedly naturalistic manner, and they are clearly shown displaying affection for each other. Nefertiti also appears beside the king in actions usually reserved for a Pharaoh, suggesting that she attained unusual power for a queen. Artistic representations of Akhenaten give him a strikingly bizarre appearance, with an elongated face, slender limbs, a protruding belly, wide hips, and an overall pear-shaped body. It has been suggested that the pharaoh had himself depicted in this way for religious reasons. It has also been suggested that he suffered from Marfan's syndrome. Until Akhenaten's mummy is located and identified, proposals of actual physical abnormalities are likely to remain speculative. However, as pharaoh, Akhenaten had complete control over how he, his family, and his government in general was represented in art. Note also that Tutankhamun was depicted in early Amarna style as a child, although he is known not to have had Marfan's; therefore this theory (and associated speculation that the Aten cult was a consequence of Marfan's syndrome-related incipient blindness) is highly spurious."

"Following Akenaten's death, a comprehensive political, religious and artistic reformation returned Egyptian life to the norms it had followed previously during his father's reign. Much of the art and building infrastructure that was created during Akhenaten's reign was defaced or destroyed in the period immediately following his death. Stone building blocks from his construction projects were later used as foundation stones for subsequent rulers temples and tombs."

Answer 2

Well instead of the traditional very cold pose that earlier pharaohs went for, Akhenaten went for more realistic poses. He dipected himself as having breasts, very big hips and just very feminine looking. He also had intimate scenes from the royal family shown. Before you would not have seen intimate scenes from the royal family.

Honestly, The finish of Spanglish whilst the lady says "I am no yet another than my mom's daughter" It hit me tough. Mostly due to the fact of all people consistently pronouncing I'll be not anything and whatnot. I do have a brand new style of trust due to the fact of this quote even though..

Answer 4
