While Mycenaean art holds a significant place in the Late Bronze Age Aegean with its geometric abstractions and masculine architectural designs. Tile art emerges as an expression deeply rooted in Anatolia’s rich cultural heritage, blending religious and aesthetic elements. The shared characteristics of Mycenaean and tile art, such as the use of ceramics, symbolism, and functionality, are highlighted, while their differences are analyzed within historical and geographical contexts. The historical interaction between art, technology, and culture is further enriched by the opportunities provided by today’s digital technologies. Artificial intelligence technologies like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) play a transformative role in analyzing and reproducing these traditional art forms. In this context, the similarities and differences between the two arts were revealed using a Venn diagram based on the parameters of material, aesthetic, and religious influence. This study discusses how digital technologies contribute to the understanding of traditional art forms and shape modern artistic approaches. The findings present an innovative perspective that bridges the artistic expressions of the past and the future.}, number={1}, publisher={Istanbul University}
