With this project, I attempted to communicate, to the extent that I am able, the emotions I felt in the time I spent drawing and studying at the Museum.\u00a0 My initial fear and awe gradually turned into joy, into intellectual and aesthetic elation, as I discovered the rhythm, the meter, the balance and, at the same time, the freedom that are concealed within this type of ancient art.<\/p>\n

And it is there, somewhere, that we can find the golden mask of the king of Mycenae4<\/sup>, Agamemnon, buried deep in the bowels of the earth, like a seed\u2026<\/p>\n Alexandra Michali<\/p>\n 1<\/sup>Vase collection- geometric period <\/p>\n
