The word ‘pharaoh’ is synonymous with ancient Egypt and its rulers who acted as intermediaries between the human and the divine. It is through this lens that Pharaoh examines more than 3000 years of ancient Egyptian art and culture, showcasing remarkable works, from monumental architecture to exquisite jewellery and haunting funerary objects. Produced in collaboration with the British Museum, home to one of the world’s leading collections of ancient Egyptian artefacts, this in-depth publication features contributions from renowned Egyptologists and art historians from across the globe. This expert research features alongside stunning works, shedding light on the lives – and afterlives – of both pharaohs and the people who lived along the Nile valley and who comprised one of the world’s most fascinating civilisations.
