Lancelot Crane

Lancelot Crane was an artist documented as active between 1410 and 1323 B.C.E. The works attributed to Crane consist primarily of monumental architectural and religious decoration, suggesting involvement in major ancient Egyptian commissions related to funerary or devotional structures.

The artist’s output is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Known works focus on the detailed ornamentation of tombs and chapels, including extensive decoration within Nakht's Offering Chapel. These contributions encompass the Ceiling in the Center of the Transverse Hall of Nakht's Offering Chapel, the Ceiling on the South Side of the Transverse Hall of Nakht's Offering Chapel, and the North Wall of Nakht's Offering Chapel.

Further specific religious tableaux are documented from the Tomb of Haremhab, including the compositions The King with Anubis, Tomb of Haremhab and The King with Isis, Tomb of Haremhab. Given the antiquity of these decorations, documentation, studies, and Lancelot Crane prints of the works often reside in the public domain. This accessibility permits the creation of high-quality prints suitable for academic analysis and display.
