The Farouk Corner Museum displays a charming oily painting on the fabric that embodies a musical scene from within one of the palaces, dominated by the artistic nature inspired by the ancient Egyptian civilization, and the painting shows a group of musicians playing various musical instruments, and they wear traditional white dress, in a scene that beats with life and originality.
The administration of the Farouk Corner Museum said, in a statement, that what distinguishes the painting is not only the accuracy of its details, but the harmony of its colors that ranged between white, gray, brown, red, black, and green, which gave it a visual depth and a special beauty, and in the background of the painting, a number of men and women wear different fashion, which reflects the diversity of the ancient Egyptian society and the richness of its daily life.
Music .. the pulse of Egyptian civilization
And music was an integral part of the lives of the ancient Egyptians, linked to their victories, with the seasons of harvesting, agriculture, and religious rituals. The playing machines have varied between the guitar, the flute, the drums and the stringed machines, and this is clearly evident through the inscriptions that decorate the walls of temples and cemeteries for thousands of years, which accurately recorded the features of that rich musical life.
It is worth noting that this unique piece comes within the holdings of the Farouk Corner Museum, which opens its doors to the audience to review pages from the modern and old history of Egypt, and it is presented within the framework of a weekly awareness program under the title of tales and holdings, which is presented every Thursday, to highlight a distinctive artistic or archaeological piece inside the museum.
