Artist's Description

Minoan Bull Leaping Fresco, Knossos Palace, Crete, 1650 BC.

The Bull-Leaping Fresco is the most completely restored stucco panel of the palace at Knossos in Crete.

Bull-leaping is thought to have been a key ritual in the religion of the Minoan civilization. As in other Mediterranean civilizations, the bull was venerated and worshiped. The Bull is a widespread symbol in the art and decoration at the palace of Knossos.

About Weston Westmoreland

Weston Westmoreland

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I particularly enjoy creating wide panoramic compositions, HDRs, HDR Panoramas... But not just... Here you will find landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images, I believe them all to be beautiful, and they are for the most part unique. Come in and judge for yourself. W. W. WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
