Facsimile painting from the 'Green Room' in the North Palace at Amarna 1353 BC

This facsimile painting, created by Nina de Garis Davies in 1926, is a faithful reproduction of a wall painting from the "Green Room" in the North Palace at Amarna, Egypt. The original mural dates back to 1353 BC during the reign of Akhenaten, the pharaoh who introduced the worship of the sun god Aten. The painting features a vibrant landscape with stylized plants, birds, and other animals, reflecting the artistic style of the Amarna Period, known for its naturalism and emphasis on beauty. The facsimile, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a valuable glimpse into the decorative arts and religious beliefs of ancient Egypt.
