This work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Egyptian art by exploring its various forms and styles across different periods. The text emphasizes the unique characteristics of Egyptian culture and how these influenced the development of its artistic expressions. The opening of the book introduces Petrie's intention to aid readers in understanding Egyptian art through a selection of illustrations and descriptions that highlight the most significant works from various periods. He notes the complexity of associating artistic changes solely with political history, pointing out that artistic evolution can be influenced by external factors such as foreign cultures and local conditions. Petrie also emphasizes the necessity of appreciating art as a reflection of its environmental context, indicating that the unique characteristics of the Egyptian landscape have profoundly shaped the forms and functions of its artistic endeavors.
