from Part VI - Aegean Art in the Final Palatial Period of Knossos
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 May 2022
The remodelling of the knossos palace, following the arrival of the Mycenaeans, goes hand in hand with the implementation of a new wall painting programme. Some frescoes from the previous period could perhaps have survived. Others, probably damaged, were removed from walls (two dumps have been found) and replaced with new ones. Hence the chronological differences between specialists, with some thinking that the frescoes in place at the time of the 1370 bc destruction date to the Knossian Mycenaean occupation, while others imagine them to be frescoes from the Neopalatial period. The large Procession fresco is a case in point.
It is likely that there was continuity in the pictorial tradition at Knossos before and after 1450 bc. According to M. Cameron’s classification (Evely 1999), the fresco painters (Groups E and G) would be the successors of those who painted the Partridge fresco (see above, p. 190).
