The present research analyses the role of the Egyptian artist within the context of New Kingdom art, paying attention to the appearance of new details in Theban tomb chapels that reflect the originality of their creators. On the one hand, the visibility of the case studies investigated is explored, looking for a possible explanation as to their function within the tomb scenes (such as ‘visual hooks’) and offering a brief experimental approach. Tomb owners benefitted from the expertise and originality of the artists who helped to reaffirm their status and perpetuate their funerary cults. On the other hand, iconography can include examples of the innate creativity of artists, including ancient Egyptian ones. The presence of such innovative details reflects the undeniable creativity of artists, who sought stimulating scenes which were sometimes emulated by contemporaries and later workmates. Significantly, some of these innovative details reveal unusual poses and daily-life character, probably related to the individuality of the artists and their innovative spirit. In other words, the creative impulse is what leads artists to innovate. In this sense, creativity must be understood as the dynamic of the visual arts that determines constant evolution of styles.

创造性的冲动:新王国期间埃及艺术家角色的创新与模仿——底比斯丧葬艺术的不寻常细节
本研究分析了埃及艺术家在新王国艺术背景下的角色,关注底比斯墓葬教堂中反映其创造者独创性的新细节的出现。一方面,探索了所调查的案例研究的可见性,寻找对其在墓葬场景中的功能(例如“视觉挂钩”)的可能解释,并提供了一个简短的实验方法。墓主受益于艺术家的专业知识和创意,他们帮助重申了他们的地位并延续了他们的丧葬崇拜。另一方面,图像学可以包括艺术家(包括古埃及艺术家)与生俱来的创造力的例子。这些创新细节的存在反映了艺术家不可否认的创造力,他们寻求刺激的场景,这些场景有时被同时代人和后来的同事效仿。值得注意的是,其中一些创新的细节揭示了不寻常的姿势和日常生活特征,这可能与艺术家的个性和创新精神有关。换句话说,创作冲动是艺术家创新的动力。从这个意义上说,创造力必须被理解为决定风格不断演变的视觉艺术的动力。
