Document Details : Title: Visualising Coregency? Subtitle: A Very Personal Interpretation of Egyptian Statuary Author(s): CONNOR, Simon Journal: Bibliotheca Orientalis Volume: 79 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2022 Pages: 227-250 DOI: 10.2143/BIOR.79.3.3291419 Abstract : This article is initially a review of Lisa Saladino Haney’s book Visualizing Coregency: An Exploration of the Link between Royal Image and Co-Rule during the Reign of Senwosret III and Amenemhet III that was published in 2020. The author’s aim was twofold: to seek to demonstrate the existence of a 20-year coregency between the two Dynasty XII rulers through the statuary that was yielded to us. At the same time, Saladino Haney’s attempted to show that this alleged coregency had an impact on the sculptural production of this period. This review-article intends to provide a reflection on the validity of the approach and methodology proposed by the author, as well as on some broader issues concerning the use of artistic productions to advance historical theory. |
