Minoan Wall Frescoes, a piece of ancient Cretan art...
|
Plastered walls from the Minoan palaces and villas that have survived to our day provide a precious portrait of life in Crete during prehistoric times. The figures and scenes painted in the Minoan frescoes display the familiar Egyptian side view with the frontal eye, as well as the sharp outlines in solid color.
This is a collection of beautiful Minoan wall frescoes, exact museum reproductions. They are made of bonded marble and are painted by hand.
