Schools of Art

In ancient Egypt, schools of art were various and differences between each other were often let to exist and appear over walls of temples or scenes of royal tombs. This space of freedom allowed competition and creation between master artists and schools each other however no artist was let to break the code of work or step far from the general rules of Art.
Here I could observe three different styles refer to having three schools getting involved in creating the carvings for Queen Hatshipsuit at her great temple built on the west bank of luxor about 1400 B C. As matter of fact without any of the moulds or templates no carving can be done with that precision for countless of times "The moulds and the templates are kept in Cairo museum." Here we can see style A, style B and style C. As moulds are different per school so the outcome should be slightly different . The example we use here represents the falcon god Horus.


Style.A. The falcon has a long tail and a short wing.


Style.B. The falcon has an even tail and wing.



Style.C. The falcon has a long wing and a short tail.
