The Aegean Sea has been historically important, especially regarding the civilization of Ancient Greece, which inhabited the area around the coast of the Aegean and the Aegean islands. The Aegean islands facilitated contact between the people of the area and between Europe and Asia. Along with the Greeks, Thracians lived along the northern coasts. The Romans conquered the area under the Roman Empire, and later the Byzantine Empire held it against advances by the First Bulgarian Empire. The Fourth Crusade weakened Byzantine control of the area, and it was eventually conquered by the Ottoman Empire, with the exception of Crete, which was a Venetian colony until 1669. The Greek War of Independence allowed a Greek state on the coast of the Aegean from 1829 onwards.

If you're local to the North East, why not come along to Tynemouth Market - I'm there every Sunday - and see my prints first-hand!
Great print of one of my favourite places. Absolutely gorgeous. The size, quality and style could not be better. We love it and it sits in our new "spin" room. When we look at it, it gives me the motivation to keep pedalling so that we can keep our fitness up to go to Fountains Abbey. Thank you for a beautiful canvas. The whole order process was spot on.

Love this picture. Although it is a gift I know my son and daughter-in-law will love it too as they have walked Roseberry Topping many times. Great communication with Nick as I was wanting it in a slightly different size that was advertised. Thank you

Such a beautiful shot and amazing quality print. We got this as a wedding present for our friends who got married overlooking Druridge Bay and they absolutely loved it.

It is such a shame about what has recently happened to this iconic statement along Hadrian's Wall path. We've walked it many a time and was looking for something to remember it's beauty. The canvas is up on the wall and it is beautiful. Worth every penny.

I've seen many photos of the classic reflection of Buttermere Lake but this one has to be my favourite. I was unsure about what size to go for. I contacted Nick who helped me with framing options and sizing. In the end we went for a slightly wider than A1 frame to try and capture the whole image. It now sits above our fireplace and looks stunning!
