There were three styles of painting in Egypt. One is known as ‘linocut’, which is the carving of figures or animals on stone, these figures are flat, pictorial forms, and are in fact a form of art that lies between carving and painting.Another style is hieroglyphics, which were originally made up of a symbol representing a physical object, each symbol being a separate painting. One by one they painted realistic and vivid images of people and animals such as birds and lions with various plants.The third style of painting in ancient Egypt was the tomb mural, which was the predominant form of painting in ancient Egypt.Painting of the Egyptian Museum-The animals appear in rows using the frontal rule, which means that the figure is represented with the head in profile, the eyes in front, the shoulders and body in front, and the waist down in profile.The use of the above expressive techniques on the figure is intended to bring out and complete the features of the human figure, a reflection of the pursuit of integrity in Egyptian painting.
