مفهوم الخلود فى الفن المصرى القديم ومدى ارتباطه بالتفكير الملحمى
هيأ جو مصر وطبيعتها فى نفس المصرى شعوراً بالخلود، وولد فى وجدانه روحانية، وعقيدة عن الحياة الآخرة
Abstract
The atmosphere and nature of Egypt created in the soul of the
Egyptian a feeling of immortality, and gave birth to spirituality
and a belief about the afterlife and the permanence of life after
death. Therefore, we find that ancient Egyptian art is an
expressive image of a people whose life was based on the
principles of eternity and infinity, and therefore all of its works
are characterized by continuity. The ancient Egyptian artist was
influenced by the Baath doctrine, and by the many religious
beliefs that dominated his society, and therefore he kept
assuming that “the picture he engraved on the walls of the
temple or the cemetery is not just lines in which artistic
harmony should be provided alone, but that it can turn into a
realistic reality” where they believed that The soul will return
again, and that he will live another life in the grave similar to his
earthly life. Therefore, paintings were depicted on the walls of
the tombs describing the activities that the person practiced in
this worldly life. and arrows, and accompanying his children
and servants, and his cooperation with hunting dogs in hunting.
The painting was divided into three horizontal levels, with
multiple scenes of hunting animals in the deserts. The culture
prevailing in a society is affected by religious, literary and
intellectual influences, “The Egyptian society’s strong and direct
connection with religion has generally affected its arts. The
ancient Egyptian artist succeeded in finding a compatibility
between the form and content of the artwork, as he made good
use of the appropriate composition and the appropriate material,
to perform the religious purpose for which the artwork was
made. The meaning of one scene on several levels: “The scenes
painted on the walls in the temple can be considered as an
expression of the desire to reach with the surrounding universe,
and the artist was able to express all aspects of human activity in
a single sequence that links them, starting with scenes of fun and
games and ending with scenes related to performing rituals
religious. The works of ancient Egyptian art were produced in
order to serve the faith, and their purpose was to clarify the
belief in the resurrection of man after death. That is why the
ancient Egyptian depicted in the tombs in which he seeks
immortality, “the scenes of the annual agricultural cycle in a
symbolic and stereotypical manner, because observing the
organized annual cycle loses the dead interest in time, and for
this reason The artist focused his skill in immortalizing these
events to give the dead the opportunity for contemplation that is
not subject to the constraints of time.
