This is, for me, a good representation for Valentine. It is Minoan (Late Minoan IIIA,c. 1400 BCE) and is a fragment of wall-painting from the palace at Knossos. It is simple, yet elegant, and gives us a glimpse into Minoan notions of feminine beauty. Bronze Age cosmetics are gleaned, with ruby lips and talcum powder white on the cheek. The eye is huge with prodigious eyeliner and flowing curly black locks. Presently, this is my Funny Valentine-La Parisienne!Thursday, February 12, 2009
