AIA NATIONAL VISITING LECTURER
Marjorie Venit, PhD

Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Art and Architecture
University of Maryland
"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.
