Architecture, visual arts and literature experienced a renaissance. Artists were strongly oriented towards the art styles of the old, newer and middle empires. Politically, the country was accompanied by upheavals. The second Persian rule was crushed by the war campaigns of Alexander the Great. With the Greek presence, a cultural connection developed that extended to all areas of society and culture. The Greek general Ptolemy I founded a ruling dynasty that provided a cosmopolitan atmosphere in the new capital of Alexandria. The period of Greek rule ended with the conquest of Egypt by the future Roman emperor Augustus. The country became a Roman province. The Roman rulers continued the way Ptolemy had gone. They saw themselves as worthy successors of the Pharaohs and had various temples built. Images of the new rulers were modeled after those of past eras.
The Egyptian art remained in its traditional features in the times of the foreign rule. However, a reduced form of art developed. Mummies were not wrapped in a sarcophagus that completely covered the body. More masks are made, which protect only the head of the dead. The material is of a different quality. The mask for Tutankhamun was made of precious metals and precious gems. These materials were replaced by simple stones or strips of linen. Egyptian artists produced artifacts of high artistic value, the material value of which fell short of the works of earlier times. The sculptors produced mainly male statues. An exception were the representations of goddesses. Sculpture followed the strict rules of tradition, but the execution was not as perfect as in earlier eras. It happened that limbs showed different lengths and appeared stylized. The appearance is preserved that Egyptian art remained as unchanged as Plato once put it.
During the Greco-Roman period in Egypt, temples grew in importance. They became centers of learning and places of religious exchange. The gods Osiris, Isis, and Horus received growing popularity. Small divine statues were made as offerings to the temples. Relief panels and busts decorated the temples and art underwent a change. If the art of earlier eras was created for the dead, it was now admired by the living. Rulers who had a statue made of themselves did not want their image placed in their grave. Their likeness was to be respected by the faithful and the people. The new rulers of the land followed the rules of prehistory exceptionally strictly. Many of the statues are hardly distinguishable from their models.
