The Egyptian–South Levantine interaction goes back to the Chalcolithic Period, with ups and downs until the Hyksos Period in the mid second millennium BCE. During the 16^th and 15^th centuries BCE the rulers of Egypt subdued the Levant and created an empire that lasted until the 12^th century BCE. In this course we will follow the expressions of this period in the visual arts: how pictorial depictions reflect the Egyptian colonialism, the Levantine–Egyptian colonial encounters, the reactions to the Egyptian intrusive activity, and the legacy of this interaction in the local pictorial repertoire of the Iron Age.
