"From the ancient Greek Orthodox icon of Christ's resurrection in Thessalonica, Macedonia to the vibrant depiction of life in a boarding house by Eric Ravilious, murals have been an integral part of artistic expression across Europe. In Belfast, a powerful war mural pays tribute to Bobby Sands MP and his unwavering spirit. Meanwhile, at Knossos, Greece, the fresco of three Minoan women transports us back in time to their captivating civilization. Diego Rivera's masterpieces also grace our world with their presence. The large detail of his Detroit mural at The Detroit Institute of Arts immerses viewers into the heart and soul of the automobile industry. Tibetan art takes center stage with the mesmerizing Wheel of Life mural that showcases its rich cultural heritage. Banksy's stencil graffiti adds a touch of rebellion and social commentary as we ponder over N070361's thought-provoking creation. In Mexico City, Diego Rivera captures both celebration and remembrance through his Day of the Dead mural at the Ministry of Public Education. Of course, no discussion on murals would be complete without mentioning Michelangelo's awe-inspiring ceiling masterpiece at the Sistine Chapel – a testament to human creativity and devotion. And once again, Diego Rivera enchants us with his portrayal of pre-Columbian life in Mexico City’s Ministry of Public Education. Finally, Dom Georges Saget brings forth warmth and joy with his nativity scene fresco from 1963 – reminding us all about love and hope during this sacred season. "
