Comparing two historical periods (Aegan Art is
compared to the Ancient Egyptian ) of art there should be noted that they have
a lot of in common as well as significant differences and peculiarities due to
the local culture are observed.
Agean art dates back to the Bronze Age civilization Female figures in
Chariot, Tiryns is perfectly representing the tradition of Agean art. The
figures are flat (here we could observe similarity to the Ancient Egyptian art
tradition they also depicted flat figures, side face to the viewer). The color
scheme in this piece of art is not represented by the wide variety of colors
but we see that the yellow, blue and brown are the dominating ones in Ancient
Egyptian Arts the main colors of the scheme are yellow and brown. Compared to
the Ancient Egyptian piece of art Art from Rameses IIs Temple, Abu Simbel where
Ancient Egyptian pharaoh is depicted on the chariot we could observe another
technique of painting, the Aegean period picture demonstrates peaceful
intensions of their period. Women are using a chariot for a ride (women are
from the wealthy families, their clothing proves that) and the Ancient Egypt
picture represents the pharaoh in the heart of the battle, depicting his
intensions to protect and enlarge the country. He is in the head of the
military troops. We see that chariots in Ancient Egypt and in Agean period in
Greece were used for different purpose. The Ancient Egyptians demonstrated aggressive
tactics, promoting enlargement of their countries territory and Greeks at Agean
times were more peaceful and mainly depicted secular life.
