"The Funeral of the Mummy" is a painting by the American artist Frederick Arthur Bridgman, known for his depictions of Orientalist subjects. Bridgman, born in 1847 in Tuskegee, Alabama, and passing in 1928, was a prolific painter who found inspiration in North African landscapes, culture, and historical scenes after moving to France and studying under the influential academic painter Jean-Léon Gérôme.

Completed in 1886, "The Funeral of the Mummy" reflects Bridgman's fascination with ancient Egyptian rituals and ceremonies. The painting is a visual reconstruction of a burial procession, showcasing Bridgman's meticulous attention to historical detail and his ability to convey the solemnity and grandeur of the event. It features a range of characters, including priests and mourners, set against the backdrop of an Egyptian landscape, complete with architectural elements reminiscent of the period.

Measuring at a significant size, the painting is a testament to Bridgman's skill in composition and his adept use of color to create a somber yet vibrant atmosphere. The work is a part of Bridgman's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the 19th-century European fascination with the exotic and the ancient, often romanticizing and interpreting the East through a Western lens.

"The Funeral of the Mummy" has been exhibited in various art institutions and is considered an important work within Bridgman's body of art, as well as within the genre of Orientalist painting. It is not only a representation of Bridgman's artistic talent but also an example of the cultural exchange and the complex interplay between Western artists and Eastern subjects during the period.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for scholars interested in Orientalism, 19th-century art, and the representation of non-Western cultures in Western art history. Its reception has evolved over time, with contemporary perspectives critiquing the Orientalist framework while also acknowledging the technical prowess and aesthetic impact of Bridgman's work.
