The Three Ladies in Blue
are one of the most famous works of art from the Knossos Palace in Crete, with their open bodice and exposed breasts next to the famous Bull's Jump Fresco (also on sale). Her gorgeous dresses, her exquisite jewellery and her artistically styled hairstyles indicate a high standard, perhaps they are princesses.
The fresco was found near the royal depots in 1914 and dates from 1525-1450 BC. It is 156.2 cm x 101.6 cm in size and is exhibited in the museum in Heraklion.
The Minoan culture, named after the legendary king Minos, developed in the 3rd and 2nd millennium B. C. and was thus the first high culture of Europe. Since the 16th century, a strong influence on the Greek mainland with the centre of Mycenae has been evident, hence the name Cretan-Mycenaean culture. For Minoan culture, as a great maritime and commercial power, the lively connection to Near East cultures, especially Egypt, has been proven. However, it has retained its typical independence. The particular characteristics of Minoan culture are the palace buildings, including Knossos and city complexes, as well as the outstanding works of pottery, cabaret, jewellery and murals.
With the excavations beginning around 1900, the development of a previously unknown world began.
