| M91 – FEMME AURIGE AVEC CHEVAL-OISEAU ET MINOTAUR | | Size (HxW) : | 85x150 cm | | Style : | Figurative Style | | Technic : | Acrylic on canvas | | Theme : | Story | | Category : | Painting | | Price : | Euros 6375 | | Year : | 2008 | | Desc. : | MINOAN / Bent frame / We discover a female charioteer holding in his left hand the monogram Philhelm, a horse-female bird is held stationary, the right shoe on a heart-shaped symbol, certainly a stylized leaf of a plant on the island which is also part of the first Minoan hieroglyphic writing. Facing a minotaur happens in the race, though embarrassed by the presence of a quarrelsome dog, especially as the readiness of our anthropomorphic seems relatively peaceful, with its large flower offering! Besides the dog, the signing of Philhelm in Linear A. In the sky, and increasing amounts of circles that have been found by the hundreds at archaeological sites of the island. They could represent either waves or the stars? A bird in flight and a central star complete the scene! As with other paintings in the series Minoan all symbols used, except with monogram, stamp-seals from Crete dating back over 4000 years protopalatiale period for 3,200 years and older, post-palatial Mycenaean period or for more lately! |
