Papyrus Painting - Akhenaten
Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten and defied tradition by establishing a new religion that believed that there is but one god; the sun god Aten.By the time Akhenaten took the throne, his family had been ruling Egypt for nearly two hundred years and had established a huge empire dominating Palestine, Phoenicia, and Nubia. When Akhenaten died, he was succeeded briefly by Smenkhkare, his favorite, and then by his son King Tut - Tutankhaten who change his name to Tutankhamun, dropping the Aten and embracing Amun.All papyrus paintings are sent with "rough" edges, easily trimmed to fit your framing needs. Dark papyrus is aged by soaking it in water and letting the sugars age the papyrus, it breaks down the fibers and gives a very old authentic feel. You may notice that there are some pin holes on the canvas, this is part of the aging process. *****NOTICE**** Artist: Adel 100% Hand Painted on Dark Papyrus Canvas Available Sizes (Approx) 1" = 2.54 cm 40 x 60 cm (16" x 24") $75.00 70 x 100 cm (27" x 39") $90.00100 x 150 cm (39" x 59") $175.00
