Abstract
This image shows the Bull Fresco in the North Bastion of the ancient site of Knossos. This Fresco works in primary colors of red blue and yellow and depicts a bull with its horns down heading towards a tree. The horns of the bull especially stick out in the Fresco in a technique known as relief fresco. The Fresco itself is reconstructed and housed under a reconstructed porch with columns holding it up.
