"Chariot Pylos" doesn't really help much when there's literally no fucking text in either the subject or body of the post. "Pylos" could have been the driver, the museum this is at, the photographer, etc.

>>2989928
The style of that art almost makes the subject look east Asian.

They came to favor sculpture. And the technology still existed, it just became domestic rather than monumental. The Etruscans decorated their tombs with lively frescoes of people feasting and partying, something they learned from the Greeks.

Yes, Greeks have changed little over the last 4,000 years.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25065118

"The analysis of our results allows us to believe that the influence upon the craniofacial complex of the various known factors, including genetic or environmental alterations, is apt to alter its form to adapt to new conditions. Even though 4,000 years seems too narrow a span to provoke evolutionary insights using conventional geometric morphometrics, the full presentation of our results makes up a useful atlas of solid data. Interpreted with caution, the craniofacial morphology in modern and ancient Greeks indicates elements of ethnic group continuation within the unavoidable multicultural mixtures."

>>2990045
I feel like the Mycenaeans and Minoans were darker than later Greeks based on their art. Then again, Greeks tan easily; it could just be very tanned olive complexions and/or limited color pallete. Or just intentionally a part of the art style.

>>2989928

They didn't. In fact ancient authors (from memory, Aristotle I think) believed it the be the most beautiful and where the best talent went. The thing is they don't preserve well you DINGUS.

>>2990087
You have to be careful with artwork, because dyes may darken or lighten over time depending on what they're made of and what they're exposed to.

Also changes in the economy or climate might make people spend more/less time indoors, changing the tan-ness.

later Greek art was based on the idealization of the human form.skin colour, hair colour ,eye colour etc.
The earlier Mycenaeans probably saw darker skin for men as a positive with connotations of hardwork in the hot sun and fitness for comparison Mycenaean women are sometimes depicted pure white so the opposite seems to be true of women.

Outdated theory, there is no archaeological evidence of a Dorian migration and Dorian is just a dialect of Greek

I refuse to believe that this is how the paint looked.
Either it was only partially painted or it was made to look photo realistic, I will not accept anything else.

>>2990203
I wonder if it's supposed to be a griffin-type creature (bird head, lion body).

>>2990203
Gryphon, it was commonly depicted all over the Western Mediterranean and later even Scythians started to draw them with the same iconography

>>2990241
its only the base colour that's preserved.It be kinda silly to think they didn't know about shading,tone and highlights etc.
I think they would look kinda creepy in candle light with lifelike colours almost like the gods where standing right there looking done on you in the flesh.

>>2990267
>Western

Meant Eastern

>>2990274
do we think that other parts of the architecture also was painted, like the pillars and so on, similar to egypt?

>Results published May 14 in Nature Communications suggest that the Minoan civilization arose from the population already living in Bronze Age Crete. The findings indicate that these people probably were descendents of the first humans to reach Crete about 9,000 years ago, and that they have the greatest genetic similarity with modern European populations.

Nonsense, the existence of the Doric Spartans proves there was a migration of Doric speakers sometime after the Bronze Age Collapse.

It would be painted like a manchild's Warhams figures, with shadows and highlighting.

>>2990354
How?

>>2990373

Spartan is a Doric dialect, the dialects of the surrounding poleis are not Doric.

>>2990174
Probably the masses gathering for a ritual

Apparently Mycenaean metalwork has been found as far afield as Ireland and Cornwall.

well of course not
minoan/mycenaean fresco artists were probably dedicated artists commissioned by the palatial nobles, while geometric and early archaic greek vase painters were just artisans who also had to decorate their wares themselves
i mean it took them centuries but they finally reached mycenaean quality again

There's tons of references to painters in the Classic texts if you read them.

The famed mosaic of Alexander defeating Darius in Pompeii was a popular painting. I believed colored by a woman too originally.
