An "Expression of Thoughtful Excellence"
on the frescoes discovered in the

"A View from the Sea."
In: The Seascape in Aegean Prehistory (Monographs of the Danish Institute in Athens 14),

This exquisite fresco was found during the excavations conducted by Spyridon Marinatos from 1967 to 1974 at Akrotiri on the southern coast of the ringed islands of Santorini (the Pompeii of the Aegean) which was covered by thick deposits of ash and pumice from the great Bronze Age eruption of the Santorini marine volcano. It was discovered on the south wall of room 5 in the West House and is 3.90 meters (12.8 feet) wide and 0.43 meters (16.9 inches) high. This fabulous fresco is on display at the P. M. Nomikos Exhibition Center's Thera Wallpainting Exhibition Hall in the town of Fira which houses all of the restored frescoes found during the excavations at Akrotiri. It is considered the single most valuable source for information on the life and technology of the Bronze Age Aegean ever found.

The West House, or Admiral's House, at Akrotiri was excavated by Spyridon Marinatos during the 1971 and 1972 seasons. Besides the magnificent Miniature Frieze Admirals Flotilla Fresco other artworks found here were two frescoes of the Fishermen and the Young Priestess fresco.
