EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a bronze candelabrum, an archaeological artifact discovered in Locri at the necropolis of Lucifero. Preserved with utmost care and reverence, this magnificent piece now resides at the National Museum in Reggio Calabria, Italy. The intricate craftsmanship and exquisite design of this ancient Greek artwork transport us back to a bygone era. Dating back to the 6th or 5th century BCE, it is a testament to the rich cultural heritage that thrived in Greece during that time. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the snake motif adorning the candelabrum. With its sinuous curves and lifelike details, it symbolizes both power and wisdom—a recurring theme in ancient mythology. The presence of reptiles further adds intrigue and mystique to this already enchanting piece. What makes this photograph even more fascinating is how it captures not only the artistry but also glimpses into ancient civilization's fashion and clothing choices. The figures depicted on the candelabrum are dressed in period costumes, providing valuable insights into their attire during that era. Alinari Fratelli's skillful photography brings out every nuance of this remarkable artifact—each curve, each texture—making it come alive before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with history and our collective desire to preserve these treasures for future generations. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari Fratelli's collection, we are transported across time and space—to an age when Greece was at its zenith—an age where art flourished alongside profound intellectual thought—a true testament to human creativity throughout history.
