1. Minoan Mondays arthistorita: Room of the Monkeys, Thera, ca. 1550 BC, Room Beta 6. Like the Spring Fresco, the Room of the Monkeys has a sense whimsy and imaginative application of colors. The inherently playful subjects are shown in various states of action- climbing, jumping, swinging- creating a scene that is not only dynamic, but also demonstrates the painter’s skill in stylistically and believably depicting the animals from various angles.
