Egypt's New Kingdom

Question 2 • PA-Social Studies 8 Q1

How did the Egyptian style of art change during the reign of Akhenaton?

Answer
A
Images depicted pharaohs as strong and responsible.
B
Images showed the sun god Aten and realistic depictions of the royal family.
C
Images were of symbols only and did not depict human figures.
D
Images of many gods were depicted in painting and sculpture.

Explanation

Akhenaton promoted the worship of Aten, the sun disk, and art from his reign reflected this religious change. Royal family members were shown in more naturalistic, intimate scenes rather than only in the rigid, idealized style used earlier. So the correct choice is B: images showed Aten and realistic depictions of the royal family.
