EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the "Ladies in blue" fresco, a remarkable piece of Minoan art. Despite its fragmented state, this composition exudes opulence and prosperity, offering a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the royal court. The richly dressed and lavishly bejeweled female figure stands out against a vibrant blue background, symbolizing wealth and nobility. Reconstructed from fragments found at Knossos, dating back to 1600 - 1450 BC, this fresco is now housed in the Archeological Museum in Herakleion, Crete. Its preservation allows us to appreciate the beauty and elegance that characterized ancient Greek society. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork – from the exquisite jewelry adorning her neck and wrists to her meticulously styled hair. The artist skillfully captures both youthfulness and grace on her face as she gazes off into the distance. Through this photograph by Frank Buffetrille, we are transported back in time to witness an era defined by its cultural richness. This image serves as a testament to Minoan civilization's artistic prowess and their ability to create enduring masterpieces that continue to captivate audiences today.
