Kazimierz Michałowski (1901-1981) was a Polish archaeologist and Egyptologist, art historian and the founder of the Polish school of Mediterranean archaeology. This is his comprehensive history of ancient Egyptian art, translated from the French by Norbert Guterman. It covers a vast span of time from the earliest prehistoric artefacts to the artistic revival in the Late Period, and through Hellenistic and Roman Egypt to the Christian age. A large number of archaeological sites are discussed in detail.
