Ancient Egyptian Painting

Ancient Egyptian art paintings are characterized by regularity and detailed depictions of human beings and the nature around them. They were intended to provide company to the deceased in the 'other world'.

I think that Egyptian artists went to great effort in preserving their work, so that people from the future can see how they lived.
