Artist
Charles Wilkinson
Charles Wilkinson is an Orientalism artist. 17 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Egyptian artists carved lively scenes on tomb walls to keep the dead company. Wilkinson's group gathers five such reliefs, from a falcon guarding a pharaoh to wine presses and chariots for the next world. They belong to the New Kingdom, roughly 1300–1200 BCE, when tombs were lined with daily life so the spirit would never go hungry. Tap Facade of a House, Tomb of Djehutynefer to step inside a 3,300-year-old home.
