And* re Mycenaean frescoes: ‘The naturalism of typical Crete has gone. Plant and animal life is stylised; poses are formal and rigid; the composition is heavy and forbidding; and figures are vast and undynamic. There is a new emphasis on scenes of combat.’

ibid [Encylopaedia of Visual Art 1:] 105-108
