Scenes from NEFERTITI - QUEEN OF THE NILE (1961)

Two matte paintings from this excellent production. The production values of this movie is above average and this is reflected in the matte work. I idon'thave the info on who's responsible for these. These look a lot like the matte paintings in TRIUMPH OF MACISTE (1961) though they are not identical.

Very strange architectural fantasy. Egyptianizing but unlike anything in the Ancient Egyptian world.

Thanks for posting these good quality screenshots. The beautiful matte paintings on that film were made by Poland born artist Joseph Nathanson who started his career as matte painter at London and moved to Rome in the middle 50´s. He painted mattes for many Italian films and during the sixties he worked on lots of peplums.
