Descrizione

During the last years, our intention was to investigate one of the most important aspects of the art of Graeco-Roman Egypt, and of Alexandria in particular: the realistic aspect, a novelty that has always been recognized in the workshops of Alexandrine art. The realism developed experimental themes and styles related to the expressive needs of certain classes. We can note the persistence in Egypt of themes and styles that it is possible to identify and trace from Hellenism until the production of Coptic cloths.
