Comparing Egyptian Standing Figure Of Osiris With Egyptian Mummy Coffin Of

Introduction

This paper will analyze and compare the Egyptian Standing Figure of Osiris with Egyptian Mummy Coffin of Pedusiri, visual elements of Ancient and Medieval Art and Architecture works from the collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum. By comparing and contrasting these two works, we will be able to see the salient parts of each of them more clearly and can better understand the relationship between their periods, cultures, or artists. This comparison will also reveal how these two cultures view the human anatomy and human spirit in different ways.

Explanation:

The first work which will be discussed is An Egyptian Standing Figure of Osiris. The Real figure of the Osiris was an extremely old god in Egyptian history. In these first statutes

Registers loaded with outlines and hieroglyphic content make up whatever is left of the pine box's beautification: Nut, the sky goddess, spreads her wings over the length of the mid-section; underneath, the preservation scene happens. Not any more! The body has not survived, but rather it would presumably have been wrapped in a cartonnage, a progression of peat, painted, and varnished cloths, and after that set inside this pine

This sample delineates Osiris, divine force of the dead and image of resurrection. He wears the atef crown (a tall cap encompassed by upright quills), a mummy cover and neckline, and holds the evildoer and thrash, the badge of a united Egypt. Beside the pyramids, mummies and their pine boxes are the articles most connected with old Egypt. This humanoid molded wood casket is a fabulous sample of the aesthetic and religious practices in the late Dynastic and early Greco-Roman periods. Its wonderfully painted decorations and pictographs conjure the divine beings to ensure the expired a man named Pedusiri, whose mummy has not survived. His readied body was likely encased in a cartonnage-a packaging of put, painted, and varnished material before being set in the pine
