Aegean (jan 1, 2000 BC – jan 1, 11 BC)
Description:
Important historical events involving craftsmanship took place in the ancient municipal structures of Crete, Mycenae, and the Cyclades between 2000 and 110 BC, during the Aegean period. The Minoan civilisation in Crete produced intricate paintings and pottery with vivid depictions of their daily activities, rigors rituals, and typical settings. The Mycenean civilisation, famous for its elaborate fortifications and castles, also produced magnificent gold veils, delicate ivory, and superb metallurgy. Cycladic art, on the other hand, placed more emphasis on the geometric forms and abstract beauty of human figures. These artworks from diverse Aegean municipal institutions speak to the skills of the craftsmen and provide insights into their folklore, convictions, and society. These observable events are crucial to understanding how craftsmanship and culture have improved over time.Added to timeline:
