Description
English: The bull-leaping fresco, original. Found in Knossos palace, Crete, Greece. It dates around 1600 - 1450 BCE. Part of a five-panel composition, the iconic Toreador Fresco depicts an acrobat at the back of a charging bull. A second figure prepares to leap, while a third waits with arms outstreched. The event may have resemnled the Course alandaise of modern southwest France. Bulls feature centrally in Knossian icongraphy and may have acted as a symbol of Knossian power. The central court may have served as an arena for bull-sports, although it was barely large enough
