Egyptian Late Period. Sarcophagus of King Tabnit of Sidon. 6th c. BCE
Question for ART 101: This is an example of Idealism in Objective art. Consider the way hair is shown. What makes it more Idealized than the hair of the dog shown here: www.flickr.com/photos/24364447@N05/15318019943 ?
This sarcophagus is an example of Objective Style in art. Objective Style comes in three flavors:
Idealism features the formal principles of Harmony, Uniformity, Pattern, and Balance.
Expressionism boldly features Irregularity, Imbalance, Disharmony, Awkwardness, and even Ugliness.
Naturalism features a relatively low degree of Abstraction, but it also subtly reflects the character, personality, and values of those who made it.
This sculpted outer coffin was originally made for the Egyptian general Penephtah who lived during the XXVI Dynasty (600-525 BCE), according to the hieroglyphics inscription on the middle section.
