The most beautiful Egyptian art... - a photo on Flickriver

            Art like this should be up there with the likes of Da Vinci, Michaelangelo and Picasso etc as one of the greatest artworks ever...and yet we don't know who painted it. It's the Nebamun hunting scene, from ancient Egypt. The detail and vivacity of this scene is absolutely stunning. The fur on the cat, the feathers on the birds, the scales on the fish, the sense of movement and life, it's astonishing...

British Museum.
