MINOAN / " By this sign you will conquer " / Text translated by Google / The Minoan woman-centaur may have lived there more than 5000 years, or 300 years prior to the actual onset of the Minoans? Flavia Valeria Constantina is the name I gave her ! She is studded heavenly crescents and exhibits a hand Philhelm's monogram as a prophetic trophy and other weapons indefinitely. Facing her, Maxenkos a no less curious green figure, bent under the weight of a dog that appears to have thrown at once on his back? Perhaps he is simply embarrassed by the weight of the unidentified object that he holds in his left hand? Note particularly the abnormal length of his right arm! In the sky left a big fish is a reminder that for the Minoans, the origin of humanity was out of the water. The item on the right could well be a constellation of planets become a simple aquatic invertebrate? In conclusion, the Latin motto of the picture is much more recent, it is attributed to the Roman Emperor Constantine First the Great (306-337) who before the battle of the Milvius bridge lives in the sky like a sign made up of two Greek letters : Khi and Rho meaning "en touto nika" = triumph by this! He asked all his soldiers to put it on their shield. After the victory, these letters became the emblem of the Christian fighters in the Eastern Empire under the sign of chrism, forming the initials of Christ. On our painting, telling the fictional story, the monogram was replaced by the monogram of the artist, can no longer iconoclast!

PLEASE NOTE: The specific mixing paints used, both interfering, or fluorescent and iridescent failed an accurate rendering of the original colors. Moreover, the exact conservation of pigments contained in them is absolutely not guaranteed in the long term, but it's really important for a picture that reminds us thousands of years ago?
 Group MINOAN
The Minoan civilization, a Bronze Age civilization, arose on the island of Crete and flourished from approximately the 27th century BC to the 15th century BC. It was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century through the work of the British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans. Will Durant referred to it as "the first link in the European chain." / WIKIPEDIA
