Best Answer

There were many kinds of artist in ancient Egypt, but they were considered to be craftsmen in the same way as carpenters and boat-builders were regarded. Some sculptors, painters and so on were masters of their craft, others were simple apprentices or pupils, others were somewhere in between.

Quite a few of the master artists who worked on tomb decoration are known by their names, since they often included a scene showing themselves at work or relaxing. The creator of the famous scene of the Battle of Qadesh and the sculptor who carved it both included their names. The names of their many assistants are not recorded.

Not all artists signed their work - in most cases we do not know the names of the men who produced the wonderful art of ancient Egypt.
