The Amarna Period of Egyptian history began with the reign of Akhenaten, the father of Tutankhamun in 1353 BC, and lasted up until 1292 BC. The period was marked by a rise in monotheism and by a surprising change in artistic style, which had previously been very consistent, making Amarna period art particularly recognisable.
