{"title":"Greco-Roman Museum-Scale Replicas","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreco-Roman Egyptian art was a powerful hybrid style born after Alexander the Great’s conquest in 332 BCE. Instead of erasing local culture, Greek and Roman rulers adopted pharaonic iconography to legitimize their power. Temples like Edfu retained traditional Egyptian layouts but featured softer, more naturalistic Hellenistic modeling in their carvings. This fusion peaked in funerary art with the realistic, lifelike Fayoum mummy portraits. These encaustic wood panel paintings replaced stylized Egyptian mummy masks, merging Roman realistic portraiture with Egypt›s traditional religious requirement to preserve the deceased›s likeness for eternity.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mummy-portraits-eg","title":"Mummy Portraits","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThe mummy portraits are a collection of remarkably lifelike funerary paintings made in the 1st–3rd centuries AD, during Egypt's Roman Period. They are popularly known as the “Fayoum portraits” because it is there that the majority of these amazing artifacts have been discovered. Placed over the faces of the wrapped mummies of the deceased to preserve their features for eternity, they represent a unique cultural fusion combining Graeco-Roman naturalistic art with a purely Egyptian funerary purpose.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Konouzeg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42229876162645,"sku":"01071204010003","price":8018.76,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/1788\/9621\/files\/DSC03825.png?v=1775736516"}],"url":"https:\/\/konouz.com.eg\/en-int\/collections\/greco-roman-faithful-replicas-copy.oembed","provider":"Konouzeg","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
