Decorate your home with an Ancient Greek ceramic Slab,copy from fresco

The Ladies in Blue is the name given to a fresco from the Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete. This fresco (or rather, fragments of it) was discovered during the excavation of the site by the British archaeologist Sir Arthur John Evans at the beginning of the 20th century. Subsequently, the fresco was recreated by the Swiss artist Émile Gilliéron. His son, also named Émile would restore the recreated fresco when it was damaged during an earthquake in 1926. Although the Ladies in Blue is a striking piece of artwork, it has some controversy attached to it, since it is not at all certain if this is how the original work would have looked like.

As its name suggests, the Ladies in Blue depicts a group of women in blue dresses, with a blue background. This fresco shows three ladies with white skin, elaborate hairstyle, and gesticulating arms. The dresses worn by these women are low-cut and expose their breasts. Based on their posture, it has been suggested that the women are conversing with each other, perhaps during some important festival or ceremony at the court. All in all, the women in the fresco are thought to belong to the upper class of Minoan society. Despite the elaborate details of the fresco, no one knows for sure if this was how the original work looked and this is a problem for many of the other frescoes from the Palace of Knossos

The original reconstructed fresco is on display at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in Crete.
