Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

In Greek mythology, the Minotaur (Greek: Minótauros) was a creature that was part man and part bull. It dwelt in the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction built for King Minos of Crete and designed by the architect Daedalus to hold the Minotaur. The actual historical site of Knossos is usually identified as the site of the labyrinth. The Minotaur was eventually killed by Theseus.

Almost on the bottom of the painting you can recognize the
King Minos of Crete had waged war on Athens and won. He then demanded that seven Athenian youths and seven maidens be sent every ninth year (some accounts say every year) to be devoured by the Minotaur. When the third sacrifice came round, Theseus volunteered to go to slay the monster. He promised to his father, Aegeus, that he would put up a white sail on his journey back home if he was successful. Ariadne, Minos' daughter, fell in love with Theseus and helped him get out of the maze by giving him him a magic sword and a ball of red fleece thread she was spinning, so that he could find his way out of the Minotaur's labyrinth.
Theseus slayed the minotaur with the sword and led the other Athenians back out the labyrinth.
Theseus took Ariadne with him but on the return trip abandoned her on the island of Naxos.Ariadne cursed him when the noticed he had abandoned her He also failed to fly white sails on his return journey, thus causing his father to throw himself into the Aegean sea, which is named after him.
This myth has continually been re-presented and re-used by European culture, over a period of three thousand years.

Almost on the bottom of the figure of Theseus, in the middle, you can recognize the ball of red fleece thread.
