A4 sized Acrylic painting done on Medium Texture Artist Canvas (Acrylic Primed) – 330GSM / ___________ / My version of the famous Nefertiti bust discovered in 1912 by archeologist Ludwig Borchardt at Tell-el-Amarna (site of Akhenaten’s new city). / _________ / In 1912, excavations by archeologist Ludwig Borchardt at Tell-el-Amarna – the site of Akhenaten’s new capital city, Akhetaten, which was abandoned soon after his death – unearthed the workshop of the pharaoh’s favourite sculptor, Thutmose. Among several unfinished works and busts found at the site – including a set of plaster heads of members of the royal family that were presumably used as models for stone sculptures – was a bust of Nefertiti rendered in painted limestone, and finished but for the left eye. This piece, one of the most celebrated of all surviving artworks of the New Kingdom, has secured for Thutmose a modern-day repuation as a master sculptor. / __________ / Image copyright: Mariaan Krog 2008 – For buying info, see top right of this page. / ____________ / /

Pencil drawing on A4 size Medium Texture Artist Canvas Sheet (primed) – 330 GSM. This is the prelim stage and will be completed with acrylic paint. Size: 21cm x 29.5cm / __________ / I am busy writing a novel about life in ancient Egypt. I will tell you all later what the story entails. My research had me buying a stack of Ancient Egyptian refrence books. Some of the books are colourfully illustrated. Since we had been without electricity (AGAIN!) for a whole day, I started skecthing and painting my own versions of some legendary figures from that time period. / __________ / This is a drawing of Nefertiti (how I see her). She was the principal wife of Akhenaten and is best remembered today for her legendary beauty. But she was also remarkable in the power she wielded. After marrying the new Pharaoh Akhenaten, she became very involved in affairs of state and because she wielded such a great deal of political influence, she was often portrayed wearing a pharaoh’s crown! My kind of lady!!! Around 1340 BC she seems to have disappeared. Some historians say she changed her name to Smenkhara and ruled as co-regent with Tutankhamun and briefly as pharaoh after he died in 1336 BC. __________ / Image copyright: Mariaan Krog 2008 / __________ / Available to buy in all print sizes.

A head sculpture of Nefertiti, queen of Egypt, wife of the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, dated around 1340 BC. Well, I’m not sure about that. It may be just a simple white polystyrene head, dated around 2006, made in China, after some digital manipulations. Digital mixed media / Copyright © LiorG 2007

Montage / This image combines an original charcoal drawing and sketch and appropriations of photographs by National Geographic of the tomb and stone statue of Queen Nefertiti. I have used painting, comping and blending tools in Photoshop CS3 to make this composite image. Where is Nefertiti? / Nefertiti floats round in the tomb of eternity as Anubis the jackal headed God searches for her. It is likely that Nefertiti died as a Queen with crook and flail, but her body has never been found and identified with absolute certainty. Nefertiti married the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV who later became known as Akhenaton. Together they had six daughters. One of these daughters married the boy King Tutankhamen. Akhenaton, unlike any Egyptian Pharaoh transformed religious practices and abandoned all the Gods of Egypt and declared only one god, Aten the Sun God as supreme. Akhenaton also decided to construct a new city north of Thebes as the capital. He named the new city Akhenaton. This strange and unusual Pharaoh supported the arts and insisted that artists work toward true realism, not idealization. Physical malformations were to be shown and examples show Akhenaton himself suffering from Marfan syndrome with unusually long limbs and female characteristics. At this time the very famous limestone bust of Nefertiti was made. “The beautiful one’ with the graceful elongated neck and perfect features was an extraordinary masterpiece of elegance and naturalism. In 1335 Nefertiti seemed to vanish. She died in the twelfth year of Akhenaton’s reign and her tomb was never completed. Inscriptions indicate that in his seventeenth year as King, Akhenaton died. It is suspected that they were both murdered. In the following years their deaths provoked tremendous argument. King Tutankhamen took power some four years later. The names of Akhenaton and his God were eradicated and their temples were torn down. The city, Amarna as it became known was gradually abandoned. In June 2002 Egyptologist Joanne Fletcher and her team believed they had found the very mutilated mummy of Nefertiti, but nothing is certain. Nefertiti, the beautiful one still commands a tremendous presence. She is ancient but never forgotten.
