Vogeljagd, Detail 1390 BC

This vibrant detail from a larger fresco, dating back to 1390 BC in Ancient Egypt, depicts a scene of bird hunting. The scene, painted in the typical Ancient Egyptian style, showcases various species of birds, some in flight, others perched on papyrus reeds. The bright, flat colors and outlined figures create a sense of both movement and stillness. The detailed depiction of the birds and the natural environment suggests an interest in the natural world and perhaps the importance of hunting for sustenance or ritual. This detail, likely from a tomb or temple wall, offers a glimpse into the artistic conventions and daily life of Ancient Egyptians.
