Abstract
On one hand, it seems hypothesized that the conventions of technical drawing are characteristics of the disciplinary development associated with the great Hellenistic treaties and writers. On the other hand, we know that the complexity and maturity of constructions, even in ancient Egypt, required, as witnessed by some papyruses, the ability to communicate technical information. Therefore, seems appropriate to analyse the translation of rules and conventions in the drawing that represents them. We focus on the fresco of an Egyptian palace from the 2nd millennium BC found inside the tomb of Djenhutinefer, in Thebes. This drawing is of particular importance as it has a great level of detail and precision, given that sections, in contrast to the very detailed elevations and constructive plans in the history of drawing, have generally played a secondary role and almost exclusively for the indication of heights. The three-dimensional reconstruction and virtualization of the model will be based on iconographic and documentary sources, which are useful for methodologically motivating the critical interpretation. The resulting cultural importance will make the virtual use of the model a useful experience for the dissemination and knowledge of the inherited heritage.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
