Resumen
El presente trabajo se centra en las escenas de duelo de tumbas privadas de finales de la XVIII Dinastía ubicadas en la necrópolis menfita egipcia, con un especial interés en los recursos artísticos utilizados y la clara división de grupos de acuerdo con su género, ya que los hombres en duelo en actitudes expresivas son especialmente raros en las escenas del arte egipcio. La presencia de hombres en duelo, junto con las tradicionales plañideras, dentro del cortejo funerario es sorprendente, con poses expresivas que provocan sentimientos de empatía y tristeza en el que las contempla. De hecho, la expresión de sentimientos en las escenas de duelo y el variado tratamiento artístico en la decoración de tumbas menfitas es indicativo del nivel de innovación y originalidad de los artistas, rasgos que pueden rastrearse hasta el reinado de Tutankhamón. En un ámbito más amplio, esta investigación explora el complejo proceso de formación del arte post-amarniense, un periodo de cambios religiosos, políticos y sociales que tienen reflejo en las escenas de las tumbas privadas.
mThis paper is focused on private tomb scenes with mourners dated to the end of the 18th Dynasty located in the Egyptian Memphite necropolis, with a special interest on the artistic resources and the clear division of groups according to the gender of mourners, as mourning men in expressive attitudes are particularly rare in ancient Egyptian scenes. The presence of men in grief, together with the traditional female mourners, within the funerary procession is striking, portraying expressive poses which provoke feeling of empathy and sorrow in the beholder. Indeed, the expressions of feelings in mourning scenes and their diverse artistic treatment in Memphite tomb decoration reveals the innovation and originality of the artists, features that could be traced back to the reign of Akhenaten. This paper explores the complex process of creation of the funerary iconography of the Post-Amarna art, a period of religious, political and social changes which were mirrored in private tomb scenes.
