Portrait of Egyptian queen, Nefertiti, on a moon-filled night.
Nefertiti, ancient Egyptian queen who was the chief wife of Akhenaton, the pharaoh of Egypt, with whom she initiated many religious, artistic, and cultural changes. Nefertiti may have exercised the priestly office, a position normally reserved for kings.
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

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.

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.
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. / ____________ / /
The famous portrait head of Nefertiti, in the Altes Museum, Berlin.

Nefertiti (pronounced at the time something like *nafratiːta1) (c. 1370 BC – c. 1330 BC) was the Great Royal Wife (or chief consort/wife) of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. She was the mother-in-law and probable stepmother of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Nefertiti may have also ruled as pharaoh in her own right under the name Ankhkheprure Neferneferuaten. There is also some confusion with the Co-Regent known as Smenkhkare who used the throne name Ankhkheprure Smenkhkare. Some schools of thought believe that Nefertiti ruled briefly after her husband’s death and before the accession of Tutankhamun, although this identification is called into doubt by the latest research.[citation needed] Her name roughly translates to “the beautiful (or perfect) one has arrived”. She also shares her name with a type of elongated gold bead, called nefer, that she was often portrayed as wearing. She was made famous by her bust, now in Berlin’s Altes Museum, shown to the right. The bust is one of the most copied works of ancient Egypt. It was attributed to the sculptor Thutmose, and was found in his workshop. The bust itself is notable for exemplifying the understanding Ancient Egyptians had regarding realistic facial proportions. She had many titles; for example, at Karnak there are inscriptions that read Heiress, Great of Favours, Possessed of Charm, Exuding Happiness, Mistress of Sweetness, beloved one, soothing the king’s heart in his house, soft-spoken in all, Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt, Great King’s Wife, whom he loves, Lady of the Two Lands, Nefertiti’. Nefertiti and her husband were known for changing Egypt’s religion from a polytheistic religion to a monotheistic religion. They believed only in one god, Aten. Nefertiti was also known throughout Egypt for her beauty. She was very proud of her long, swan like neck. She even invented her own makeup using the Galena plant.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Nefertiti (c. 1370 BC – c. 1330 BC) was the Great Royal Wife (chief consort) of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. Nefertiti and her husband were known for changing Egypt’s religion from a polytheistic religion to a henotheistic religion. They revered only one god, Aten, the sun disc. This was not strictly monotheism, as they did not deny the existence of other gods. She had many titles; for example, at Karnak there are inscriptions that read Heiress, Great of Favours, Possessed of Charm, Exuding Happiness, Mistress of Sweetness, beloved one, soothing the king’s heart in his house, soft-spoken in all, Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt, Great King’s Wife, whom he loves, Lady of the Two Lands, Nefertiti’. She was made famous by her bust, now in Berlin’s Neues Museum. The bust is one of the most copied works of ancient Egypt. It was attributed to the sculptor Thutmose, and it was found in his workshop. The bust itself is notable for exemplifying the understanding Ancient Egyptians had regarding realistic facial proportions. Some scholars believe that Nefertiti ruled briefly after her husband’s death and before the accession of Tutankhamun as Smenkhkare, although this identification is a matter of ongoing debate.
