- Support Inside picture, no flash, no tripod, from the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, Greece. The "Spring fresco" of Akrotiri (Santorini). This is the only wall-painting found in situ in Santorini (a.k.a. Thera), covering three walls of the same room. There is no other example of such a work in the whole Greece. Akrotiri was buried by the massive Minoan eruption (Theran eruption) in the middle of the second millennium BCE, during the Late Minoan IA period; as a result, like the Roman ruins of Pompeii many centuries later, it is remarkably well-preserved. Frescoes like this one, pottery, furniture, advanced drainage systems and three-story buildings have been discovered at the site. I'm particularly sensitive to enjoy, 3.500 years later, the couple of kissing swallows. NAMA, N°BE 1974.29. -- Jebulon (d) 14:39, 15 July 2016 (UTC) -- Jebulon (talk) 14:49, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

- Support I like that you cropped it so that it looks like a Vermeer painting at first glance (a room with light falling into it and something going on in it). w.carter-Talk 20:42, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
