Akhenaten introduced religious reforms, including a form of monotheism, as well as introducing realism in the visual arts. It is unlikely that his religious reforms had much to do with his changes to the visual arts. He had broken free of the old conservatism and expressed his ideals in the two different spheres. Neither change outlasted him for long.
