We have in our Horus papyrus store a beautiful collection of Egyptian papyrus paintings. Most of these paintings are scenes taken from walls of temples. Our Egyptian papyrus is handmade using the same old techniques ancient Egyptians used thousands of years ago. All of our Papyrus Paintings are hand painted in Egypt by our skilled artists and are of the highest quality. Colors in these papyrus paintings may slightly vary as they are hand painted. Papyrus paintings make a great gift.
About ancient Egyptian art:
Ancient Egyptian artists used a set of rules for painting. Pharaohs and gods where portrayed in a style called frontalism, this meant that the head of the character was always drawn in profile, while the body is seen from the front. Although the face is to the side, the eye is drawn in full. The legs are turned to the same side as the head, with one foot placed in front of the other. The head is at right angles to the body. Every figure, in papyrus paintings, stands or sits with a formal, stiff, and rigid posture. The stance of the body is severe, but the faces are calm and serene. Slaves and animals were painted more natural and relaxed, and with a smaller scale in drawings to show their limited importance.
About our Artist:
Our artist is Ghabour – who is well known for his high quality papyrus paintings. He is involved with each piece he creates from selecting the papyrus to the painting. The paints he uses are 100% natural - the same chemical properties used by the Ancient Egyptians. The color schemes are kept inline with the original paintings found in tombs and temples. Each piece is an individual work of art. And of course each piece is signed by Ghabour.
