The Egyptian
Portaits of Winifred Brunton Screensaver bring to life the
statues and mummy portraits of Egypt's Kings, Queens
and Nobles. She painted in glowing colors on pieces
of Ivory, producing luminous and vibrant representations.
30 portraits are presented in this screen saver,
including:
Tutankhamun, Akhenaten,
Tetisheri, Senwosret, Tutmose, Tiye, Amenhotep, Nefertiti,
Hatshepsut, Pepi, Amenemhat,
Norfret, Narmer, Khafre, Menkaure, Ranefer, Ankhesenamen,
Horemhab, Mutnodjmet, Smenkhkare, Seti, Rameses,
Taharka, and Cleopatra.
Most of Brunton's portaits
were used in illustration of two books: The
Kings and Queens of Ancient Egypt and The
Great Ones of Ancient Egypt. Brunton observed
the statues in the
museums and the reliefs in tombs to reproduce
the details of the faces of these ancient rulers
and
nobles, and their costumes. She accurately reproduced
the clothing as shown in the Egyptian art of
each period. While some scholars think she accentuated
the glamour of the portaits, most believe that
she has faithfully captured the Egypt of the past.
