Amarna period (Eighteenth Dynasty (Egyptian), New Kingdom (Egyptian), ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to the period in Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty from about 1353 to 1332 BCE during the reign of Amenophis IV who changed his name to Akhenaten. The name of the period is derived from the modern village of El-Amarna near the ruins of the new capital city founded by Akhenaten. The period is characterized by a profound change in the arts, as well as religion, thought, literature, and language, and many of its material remains were destroyed by later rulers. The art, predominately statuary and relief sculpture, has been described as expressionistic or mannerist as a result of a break with past artistic conventions particularly a change in the proportions of human figures.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指自西元前1353年至西元前1332年的第十八王朝期間,在原名為阿曼諾菲斯四世(Amenophis IV)的阿肯那頓統治底下所發展的埃及時代。其名稱來自於現今的阿瑪爾納(El-Amarna)村落,在該村落附近發現阿肯那頓當時所興建的新首都遺址。這個時代的特色是在各種藝術、宗教、思想、文學與語言上的重大轉變,但此時期的許多物質遺留皆被之後的統治者所摧毀。以雕像與浮雕雕塑為主的藝術,則因為與之前藝術手法間的差異,特別是在人體比例上的改變,而被視為表現主義或者矯飾主義風格。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar de periode in Egypte tijdens de Achttiende Dynastie, van circa 1353 tot 1332 v. Chr. onder het bewind van Amenophis IV, die zijn naam veranderde in Akhenaten. De naam van de periode is afgeleid van de huidige plaats El-Amarna bij de ruïnes van de nieuwe hoofdstad die werd gesticht door Akhenaten. De periode kenmerkt zich door een grondige verandering in de kunst, religie, ideeënwereld, literatuur en taal. Veel van de materiële overblijfselen uit deze tijd zijn door latere heersers vernietigd. De kunst, vooral statuair en en-reliëf beeldhouwwerk, is beschreven als expressionistisch of maniëristisch als gevolg van de breuk met artistieke conventies uit het verleden, met name de verandering in de proporties van menselijke figuren. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere al período en Egipto durante la XVIII dinastía desde alrededor de 1353 al 1332 a.C., durante el reinado de Amenofis IV quién cambió su nombre a Akhenatón. El nombre del período se deriva de la aldea moderna de El-Amarna cerca de las ruinas de la ciudad de la capital nueva fundada por Akhenatón. El período es caracterizado por un cambio profundo en las artes, tan bien como la religión, el pensamiento, la literatura, y la lengua, y muchos de sus restos materiales fueron destruidos por reglas más últimas. El arte, predominantemente estatuaria y escultura liberal, se ha descrito como expresionista o manierista como resultado de una rotura con últimas convenciones artísticas particularmente un cambio en las proporciones de figuras humanas.
