EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the opulent Room in the Queens apartments within the Royal Minoan palace at Knossos on Crete, dating back to the 17th century. The room exudes an air of grandeur and sophistication, showcasing intricate details and vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. As we step into this historical space, our eyes are immediately drawn to a remarkable artifact adorning one of the walls – a majestic dolphin. Symbolizing strength, intelligence, and grace, this animal holds great significance in Minoan culture. The architecture of this building is awe-inspiring; its design reflects both functionality and beauty. The doorway invites us to imagine who may have passed through it centuries ago – perhaps a monarch or even a queen herself. This room served as their sanctuary, offering respite from royal duties while surrounded by exquisite furnishings fit for royalty. It's fascinating to think about how people lived during this era. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to envision bustling courtiers going about their daily lives within these very walls. The preservation of such historical sites like Knossos is crucial for understanding our past and appreciating the rich heritage that Greece possesses. Through photographs like these captured by C. M Dixon and Mike Dixon, we can continue to admire and learn from these architectural marvels that once housed sovereigns and shaped civilizations.
