A magnificent painting of the Archeological museum was found on the walls of a chamber, perhaps a sanctuary, depicting “Antilopes”. It’s fascinating to see how an anonymous artist from 3600 years ago was able to bring the animals to life, portraying them aggressively competing with one another, using nothing more than the power of the skillfully executed black lines, with no other colors. The drawing flows beautifully, with concise, agile strokes, and is potently expressive. There are no background details, and the stark white enhances the power of the figures; the upper part, in plain red, adds drama to the butting horns.
