Queen Nefertari Playing Senet by Unknown Egyptian artist

The painting depicts Queen Nefertari, one of Ramesses II’s most beloved wives, engaged in the ancient Egyptian game of senet. Captured with remarkable detail and imbued with a serene stillness that belies its symbolic significance, this artwork exemplifies the maniera greca style—a captivating fusion of Italian Renaissance ideals and Byzantine artistic traditions. Created around 1279 B.C., during Ramesses II’s reign, it offers a glimpse into royal life and funerary beliefs of the New Kingdom period.

Subject Matter: The central figure is Nefertari herself, seated calmly at a table adorned with chess pieces—a deliberate juxtaposition reflecting both earthly governance and spiritual journey.
Style: Heavily influenced by Venetian painting techniques, particularly sfumato, the artist skillfully softens contours and creates atmospheric depth, departing from the flattened surfaces characteristic of Byzantine art. This stylistic choice underscores the desire to transcend mere representation and convey a profound sense of contemplation.
Technique: Employing tempera on paper—a medium favored by Cretan artists—the painting showcases meticulous layering and blending of pigments, resulting in luminous colors and subtle tonal variations that enhance the artwork’s visual impact.

The inclusion of senet is not merely decorative; it symbolizes the afterlife voyage undertaken by Egyptians after death. The game's progression represents obstacles encountered on this journey—challenges overcome through divine grace and wisdom. Furthermore, the presence of a bird – likely symbolizing resurrection – reinforces this thematic core. This detail speaks to the broader Egyptian preoccupation with immortality and the eternal soul’s quest for transcendence. Nina de Garis Davies, a prominent member of the Graphic Section of the Museum's Egyptian Expedition, undertook the painstaking task of recreating this masterpiece in 1921-1922. Her dedication to capturing the essence of Nefertari’s tomb—a site revered for its opulent decoration and symbolic representations—is evident in her meticulous attention to detail and her masterful execution. The facsimile copy serves as a testament to Davies' artistic prowess and her commitment to preserving Egyptian art history for future generations. Further Research:
