Join us to celebrate the release of Faces of Ancient Egypt, a new book by Lawrence Berman, Norma Jean Calderwood Senior Curator of Ancient Egyptian, Nubian and Near Eastern Art. This publication draws on masterworks in the MFA’s peerless collection to tell the story of how the creators of these portraits strove to balance realism and symbolism, humanity and divinity, tradition and the particular desires of their subjects. This program is preceded by a reception.
