2008, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Classics.
There is an often purported, but little studied, relationship between Minoan wall painting and vase painting. Neopalatial and Final Palatial examples from the palace at Knossos suggest how two different media from a single archaeological site stylistically related to each other over time. The stylistic features of traditions of wall painting and vase painting are examined in detail, phase by phase, with regard to their physical forms, design structure, spatial distribution, motifs, and themes. General comparisons are then drawn between the two media, and four case studies, in which similarities are exceptionally strong, are discussed. The relationship between wall painting and vase painting appears to have been as much structural as motif-based. It is likely that the same group of Minoan artisans was active in producing art in both media. The reason for the stylistic similarities is both subconscious (the design and structure of forms being an extension of the artistic habitus of the craftsman) and deliberate (with specific motif choices promoting a coherent and complementary visual program within the palace).
