Mycenaean Style: Mycenaean style Religion. Minoan motifs reappear in Mycenaean style religion. The cult objects are the same and in both there is an absence of large temples. But the differing character of the war¬like Mycenaean styles led to religious changes. The tendency toward anthropomorphism is increased, and Mycenaean style divinities already have distinct names and functions. Homeric gods named in Mycenaean style texts include Zeus, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Paean (one of Apollo's titles), Hera, Hermes, and Dionysus.
War II; others have turned up at Knossos, My¬cenae, Tiryns, and Thebes. This writing was de¬ciphered in 1953 by Michael Ventris and proved to be an early form of Greek.
Mycenaean style culture, as can be known from its abundant pottery and other products, was a some¬what mechanical derivative from Crete and ap¬pears rather uniform everywhere down to 1200 B. c. Mycenaean style pottery has been found in Egypt, in many sites on the Syrian coast, and in southern Italy and Sicily; Mycenaean style metalwork also appears as far from Greece as Wessex in England. In Mycenaean style graves are found quan¬tities of amber, which came down from the Bal¬tic across central Europe to the Adriatic.See Also Country Style:A lovely combination of pieces gives this room bags of country style. The old clock adds a retro shot to plain walls, while shapely bowls and blue and white china shout rustic style. The old metal bread tin is another key country ingredient. You can scout around second¬hand markets for an original, but many shops now sell them.
Fresh flowers are a country living room essential and look great in an old jar rather than a Vase (reinventing uses for vessels is a great way to add country style). There is also a mix of modern and traditional pieces which gives the room a relaxed, up-to-date country look.
On The Other Hand See Ornamental Style:Rococo. Classical baroque modulated into a lighter, more playful style in the early 1700's, and this trend culminated in the rococo style about 1725. Unlike classical baroque, rococo prefers asymmetry and searches for swirling movement and rich surface animation. Rococo is primarily an ornamental style, and the apparently irregular appearance of a rococo object is often found to be a matter of decoration, not of under¬lying form. The favorite decorative motifs are naturalistic.
There is something rather ambiguous about Jacqueline in this picture: is she really sitting in a wicker chair, or is her head just part of the painting in the background, on an otherwise empty piece of canvas? Probably, this interior was not actually influenced by Henri Matisse, as some people think. Nor should it be looked at in terms of large patches and an ornamental style. Rather, it shows his great sensitivity towards Art and his use of mannerist style in deliberately confusing the onlooker with conflicting realities.
