About the artwork

This black-and-white photo of a romantic old broken wooden door in the town of Rethymnon is an impressive piece of history from Crete's past. The door stands at the end of a small alley in Rethymnon and has a unique look that takes you back to ancient times. The door has a half round window with decorations and another round window above it, giving it a characteristic look. It seems that this door has been on this spot for a long time and is waiting to be repaired or further restored. But the very age of this door gives it a special character and a raw look. The Greek island of Crete is one of the oldest inhabited islands in the world. The town of Rethymnon itself was built in the 16th century during Venetian rule. The island of Crete has been occupied several times over the centuries, first by the Minoan civilisation and later by the Venetians, Ottomans and Germans. The door in the photo represents a piece of history of these occupations and tells the story of the different cultures that have shaped Crete over the centuries. Therefore, this photo is not only a beautiful wall decoration, but also a piece of history that takes you back to another time. If you are interested in history and culture, this photo of the old door is a great choice for you. Hang it up and imagine yourself back in the days of the ancient inhabitants of Crete. The door will take you on a journey through time and show you how the history of Crete developed.
