Minoan Civilization

Fresco showing three women who were possibly Queens.
Minoan civilization had a heavy focus on artistic expression.  They are most famous for their Fresco artworks and the ornateness of even the most trivial objects.

A fresco found at the Minoan site of Knossos, indicating a sport or ritual of "bull leaping", the red skinned figure is a man and the two light skinned figures are women.
The collection of Minoan art is in the museum at Heraklion, on the North Shore of Crete.
