AIA NATIONAL VISITING LECTURER
Marjorie Venit, PhD

"Egypt as Metaphor: Decoration and the Afterlife in
the Monumental Tombs of Ancient Alexandria"
This talk explores the intersection of Egyptian
and Greek (or Roman) decorative elements and motifs in Alexandrian
monumental tombs and the eschatological climate that permitted and
encouraged the convergence. It argues that Greeks adopted and adapted
Egyptian modes of expression in order to fill a void in their own
visual repertoire at a time when visualizing the road to the afterlife
became more acutely essential.
