Minoan 'Procession Fresco' 1600 - 1450 BCE
"All known Minoan figured frescoes are of Neopalatial date. Very few frescoes have been found at either Mallia or Phaistos. Most of the Minoan fresco corpus comes from Knossos and Ayia Triadha, although a fair number of paintings also come from villa sites such as Amnisos (House of the Lilies) and Tylissos. Although the large numbers of frescoes from Akrotiri on Thera, Ayia Irini on Keos, and Phylakopi on Melos are heavily indebted to Minoan traditions of wall-painting, they should not be viewed as purely Minoan but rather as representative of one or more distinct Late Cycladic schools of fresco art."
