Paintbrushes / Wall-painting and vase-painting of the 2nd millennium BC in dialogue

All were invited to Akrotiri, Thera, from 24 to 26 May 2013, to participate in open discussions on the dialectical relationship that developed between the arts of vase-painting and wall-painting in the Aegean during the second millennium BC. The meeting was organized in collaboration with the Study Centre for Prehistoric Thera, of the Archaeological Society at Athens, and the University of loannina.
