It was in Thebes, now Luxor, that it experienced its greatest development, around 1539-1077 BC (New Kingdom) and it is only this painting, more precisely that which adorns the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etombs of individuals\u003c\/strong\u003e , not the hypogea of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, which are in question here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eNadine Cherpion's main objective is the \u003cstrong\u003estudy of style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein Theban tombs. By style, we mean the dominant colors of a monument as well as the curvature of a wig or the length of a back. It is what makes the \"spirit\" of an era, or even of a reign. Studies on style in Egyptian painting are few and far between and often exhausted or partial (Wegner 1933, Mekhitarian 1954, Hofmann 2004). On the other hand, a subject as subtle as style can easily be revisited at regular intervals with a fresh perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWillingly leaving the borders of Egyptology,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe author places Theban painting within the framework of the universal history of painting\u003c\/strong\u003e , which constitutes one of the innovative aspects of his work, as does the rethinking of the dating.
