This Flying-Fish Fresco was located at the archaeological site of Phylakopi a settlement in the Aegean. As this fresco painting is dated to the 16th century (Cartwright), it is identifiable with the late Cycladic period. The fresco of the Cyclades, islands in the Aegean Sea, north of the Minoan island of Crete had a civilization that had predated the Minoan people (Mingren). The final phase of the Cycladic bronze age (1500 to 1100 BC) is described to be heavily influenced by the Minoan culture.

As the Minoan Marine Style has been the main focus of this exhibit, identifiable is the Minoan interaction with the Cycladic people that is represented in the connection between cultures and art. We see the marine style, a simplification of marine animals yet an essence of liveliness and naturalism in this fresco, the approach to this fresco is very alike the Minoan approach. The site where this fresco had been found, noted as a great Aegean settlement dealt with trade at "Cretan centers" with Minoan people (Mingren).

Through trade or perhaps just through a mere connection of the sea, we see the identifiable Minoan Marine Style of art within islands that were not even primarily Minoan.
