The history of the origin and development of the art of Ancient Egypt can be traced over a huge period of time - over four thousand years. Thanks to this circumstance alone, the study of Egyptian art is of great interest, since we can find out the ways of the formation and development of art in one of the first class societies in the history of mankind and establish in it the reflection of the changes that took place in the life of the Egyptian slave society. Egyptian art is a new, important stage after the art of the primitive communal system. It is valuable for its concrete depiction of reality and attention to man, for the fact that for the first time it reflected the complex in its contradictory world of class relations. The monuments have preserved for us many names of creators of Egyptian art. From the autobiographies of the most prominent masters it is clear that they themselves recognized their importance in the development of the art of their country. So, in the inscription of the famous architect of the XVI century BC. e. Ineni we read: "What I was destined to create was great... I was looking for posterity, that was the skill of my heart... I will be praised for my knowledge in the years to come by those who will follow what I have accomplished"
