MISSES OF KNOSSOS

Blue Ladies, they are part of the mural of the Palace of Knossos. It presents many women on a blue background talking to each other. In addition to the impressive hairstyles, we immedi ately notice that they wear jewelry of great value and the traditional topless costume of the Minoans. The costume in itself presents a liberated perception of the human body free from modern prejudices. The breast was not a provocative element of the female body nor was it connected exclusively with the concepts of sexuality and reproduction. The scarf has used bright colors with the pink color emphasized rather than the blue, even though it is part of the title. This fact should not be surprising as the color itself is not the main feature of the image. Luxury no longer lies in the value of jewelry and clothing but in the natural elements that surround the blue ladies, the discreet but at the same time impressive lilies.
