Our unique frescoes are
painted on a thin layer of natural plaster which is applied on a wooden
frame.
Minoan Frescoes were created by mixing pigments
with water and applying them onto plaster where the absorbed colors dried into
the surface.
The original fresco, dated to Late Minoan I (ca. 1500
BC) by Evans, depicts a large bull and three human figures. Two of the
human figures have white skin, while the third human figure has a reddish-brown
skin. Men are always shown with dark skin, while women are shown with light
skin. the white figure at the left seems to be holding the horns of the bull.
This is a dangerous feat, especially considering that the bull seems to be
charging at full gallop.T he other white figure, at the right, is
gesticulating, perhaps in an attempt to attract the bull’s attention and
confuse the animal, as in modern Spanish bull-fighting. The red figure in the
middle is depicted in the process of leaping across the bull’s back in a feat
that almost defies belief.
The original fresco
is on display in the Herakleion Museum, Crete.
