Some pictures of the Fayoum portraits that date back to the Roman era
It is a group of paintings that were painted on wood and then installed on the face of the mummy. These portraits were found throughout Egypt, but the largest group was found in Fayoum, and it is widely believed that this photography was used as a mask (mask) on the mummies in order to identify On him, therefore, he drew a match for the original form of the deceased, which dates back to the first century BC and continued until the third century AD in Egypt during the period of Roman rule. After that date, Coptic Christian icons began to appear, which are an extension of the Fayoum portraits.
Of course, Fayoum portraits is the modern name for this group of paintings that have been found all over Egypt, but most of them were found in Fayoum, so I took the name of Fayoum Portraits.
The artist excelled in depicting the features and details of the deceased through the eyes, which were often overshadowed by faint sadness.
