Coptic Art in Munich

Dear Friends
on Sunday 18/05/2014, Jean-Luc and me, we visited the advertised exhibition Tête à Tête mit der modernen Kunst at the Staatlisches Museum Ägyptisches Kunst (www.smaek.de) here in Munich. I was pleasantly surprised in noting that that the Smaek is less static than I thought. In fact, apart from Tête à Tête, it evolved by presenting to the public an expanded Coptic section (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_art). The newly presented Coptic portraits, clearly anticipating those of the icons, although mainly funerary, are sometime immersed in a lively, lush Nilotic landscape, which, in my opinion, successfully contribute to consider the person still living and close to the family and friends. Any comment from your side is welcome.
Salutations
Giancarlo
