House of Eternity The Tomb of Nefertari /anglais

McDonald, John K.

Thames&Hudson

The most lavishly decorated tomb ever created in ancient Egypt was constructed for Queen Nefertari, wife of Rameses the Great. The Getty Conservation Institute has been instrumental in the effort to restore the tomb's magnificent wall paintings, and in the fall of 1992, to mark the completion of this work, an exhibition will be held at the Getty Museum. As a complement to the exhibition, which will include a model of the tomb and full-scale reproductions of the wall paintings, this publication includes a description of the conservation work carried out at the site, with photographs taken before and after restoration, as well as discussions of significant artifacts from the tomb. The text also outlines the life of Nefertari and places the tomb in the context of Egyptian art history.

<p>The 1904 discovery of Queen Nefertari's tomb revealed to the world the exquisite beauty of its magnificent paintings, which rank among the finest surviving masterpieces of ancient Egypt. Resealed again because of the decay and disintegration of its fragile images, the tomb remained hidden from the public until 1995 when a nine year program of meticulous conservation and monitoring was completed.</p>
