The book XΡΩΣΤΗΡΕΣ (CHROSTERES) – PAINTBRUSHES I, Proceedings of an International Conference, addresses to archaeologists, conservators of antiquities and artists specialized in the study of Aegean iconography, and deals with the dialectical relationship that developed between the arts of vase-painting and wall painting in the Aegean during the second millennium BC. Pictorial pottery (including clay larnakes) and mural painting (along with portable works in painted plaster), and the thematic affinity their representations display in various periods, are examined together by modern research. Moreover, the common stylistic traits and the synchronisms of these arts are also noted, and the different technical, artistic and social parameters of the periods of their zenith.
