analyzing the composition of the toreador fresco from knossos, explain how the artist shows movement. in what ways does the composition enhance the sense of narrative?



Answer :

The artist shows the movement in the composition of the Toreador Fresco from Knossos by depicting three figures (two females and a male) and a bull. The artist of the fresco depicts a ritual or a sport known as bull-leaping (a sort of bullfighting).

The movement in this fresco is shown by the bull’s body being formed elongated with the legs stretched out from the ground. The bull’s body shape is depicted as big to show its strength. The artist also shows movement in this fresco by the figure of a male (a bullfighter) over the bull’s back. The other two female figures look into the focal point, which is the male figure bending backward over the bull’s back while holding the sides of the bull with both hands.

The composition enhances the sense of narrative in a way that the fresco conveys the story of three figures leaping over a bull in a ritual or a sport of the Minoan people. Moreover, we can see that this fresco also conveys the message of survival of the three figures facing a powerful bull in the ritual/sport.
