Art in Egypt, Greek Romanian

Was a product of the invasion of Alexandria in Egypt "332 BC. m " and its occupation and the subordination of Egypt under the Greeks and Romans a significant impact in a change in ancient Egyptian art

He carried the Greeks and Romans with them to Egypt, their art, "Hellenistic" their own, which was the basis of Greek art and with their arrival to Egypt with ancient civilization and art featured in all fields, whether sculpture or mural painting or even a small arts of jewelry, tools, furniture and other, we see them may Behrhm this art ancient, fine and started to simulate this blending of art and the creation of intentional between Greek art and Greek and Egyptian art, this is most evident, particularly in sculpture and architecture, especially temples

 Was the policy of the Greek and the beginning of the Ptolemaic rulers, especially starting from Ptolemy I to Queen Cleopatra and also during the Roman era policy aims to get closer to the Egyptians, so as to exclude them the nickname invaders. We find them eager to carve statues on the same style statues of the kings of Egypt in the Pharaonic era in terms of conditions, whether standing or sitting, as well as conditions of the arms, feet, hands, contrary to the situation of statues of Greek, which was characterized by simulating nature and is not conditions classical statues of ancient Egyptian art, although they added fingerprint-pattern is purely a capital statues which represents the natural features of the face of the Kings and their hair in Greek art was the pride of their nationalism and worker that they are keen to represent the head and their hair art

, Bringing the statues of ancient Egyptian art classic Premier and Greek art as well as the keenness of the Kings to represent themselves on the walls of temples during the Greek and Romanian, this is evident in the temples of Philae and Dendera, Kom Ombo and Edfu in the form of the kings of Egypt in the Pharaonic era, in every detail, whether the conditions of physical face, shoulder and arms and hands and legs from the side and eyes forward. As well as in terms of decorations and ornaments as well as in clothing and headgear, which Mathlt crowns of Egyptian kings known as decoration and all this in front of the same Egyptian deities such as Osiris, Isis, and Hur, and Hathor and other gods

,. As well as the forms of furniture, especially the throne and Mahavp used in religious rituals as well as tools that catches the kings and royal crests Kalsoljan symbols such as property

As well as in architecture were keen to take the same patterns of Egyptian architecture in the form of columns on the forms of lotus and papyrus and palm leaves and columns that adorned the deities Hathor, as well as forms of gates and decorated with the upper part of temples known Balofris especially doors decorated compressed sun winged symbol of the god Ra. The new addition added by the Greeks and Romans is Mint, which was not known in Egypt, where he is working Mkabdp in the process of buying and selling money was not known in Egypt

With the rule of the Ptolemies of Egypt and the Romans and found that they have also introduced minting a coin of silver or gold or bronze or nickel with pictures of their kings on the face and some decals property, religious, or documentaries such as titles, date, although some of them dye dye girl purely like forms of some religious symbols

In the field of music and singing has continued to the Egyptians during the Greco and Roman retaining their music and their musical instruments, and poetry and sang as was the case in the Pharaonic era, but we find that the Greeks and the Romans brought with them their art and their musical instruments of their own, although it is unlikely to be mixing, even if slightly between these machines, especially During the celebrations and holidays, especially in the religious holidays, which concern the Ptolemaic kings and the Romans to do the same duties of kings and pharaohs of reconnecting to the Egyptians

In the field of garments and fabrics, used the Ptolemaic and Roman fabrics plants in Egypt, especially in Upper Egypt in Qeft for the production of fabrics and decorated with colorful clothes. The Egyptians keen on the use of decorative patterns and colors of clothes but very genuine Egyptian by the Egyptians after his conversion to Christianity and the use of elements of Coptic art in the decoration of this well-known clothing

The Egyptians during the Greco-Roman adhere to their art the ancient Pharaonic in all fields, whether architecture, clothes or tools, and other even entered Christianity to Egypt, Venbz Egyptians and Bta for this art and have also introduced themselves to the art, a new so-called art, Egyptian Coptic a religious nature purely in terms such as religious symbols like grape leaves, baskets, crosses, and religious myths on everything, whether in the capitals of columns or walls or niches of the churches and monasteries and platforms, altars, and doors as well as furniture for both homes and churches or houses all kinds of tools and books

 This art was characterized by clarity and simplicity together with the use of the Egyptian language, which the evolution of the line to the line where the Coptic Greek letters as an element of the decoration of Coptic art.

We find in Egypt during this era what it's like two kinds of art. The first is any Egyptian Coptic art to the Egyptians the art of the mix of Greek and Egyptian art carries the properties of technicians
