Thanks to FOREO for partnering with me on this video:
Bronze Age Europe saw the increasing expression of individual and group identity through clothing, hairstyles, and objects of personal ornamentation.
But it’s in the artistic tradition of the civilisations of the Aegean that we most clearly see the emergence of ideals of beauty that we well recognise even today.
So how was female beauty represented? What jewellery and clothing did they wear? How did women enhance and emphasise their beauty?
How were women represented in Minoan and Mycenaean art? And what did beauty mean to the people of Bronze Age Europe?
