Summary:

After acting as regent for her young nephew-stepson Thutmose III, Hatshepsut, the great female pharaoh of Egypt's 18th Dynasty, assumed the title of king and exercised the full powers of the throne as senior co-ruler with Thutmose. She ruled during a period of prosperity and immense artistic creativity that produced innovations in sculpture, decorative arts, and architecture. Included in this publication that examines her 20-year reign (ca. 1479-1458 B.C.) are essays by leading Egyptologists that investigate the circumstances that allowed or compelled Hatshepsut to become king, the relationship between Hatshepsut and Thutmose III during their joint reign, Hatshepsut's adoption of the Egyptian conventions of royal representation in order to bolster her legitimacy, her use of architecture to make political statements, among other subjects. The glories of the art produced under Hatshepsut's leadership are also fully explored, with discussions on the influence that neighboring cultures of the Near East, Nubia, and the Aegean had on Egyptian royal sculpture, reliefs, ceremonial objects, personal items for everyday use, and jewelry. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.
