EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Cover of the fictile sarcophagus found in Tarquinia with the figure of the dead woman laying" at the Civic Archaeological Museum in Milan, Italy. The sarcophagus, dating back to the 2nd century AD, is a remarkable example of Etruscan art and civilization. The image captures an intricate scene depicting a deceased woman lying peacefully on her final resting place. The attention to detail is astounding as every fold in her clothing, every strand of hair, and even her facial expression are meticulously crafted. This artwork serves as a testament to the skill and creativity of ancient civilizations. The photograph itself was taken between 1875-1910 by Brogi from Alinari. It beautifully captures not only the artwork but also provides insight into historical communication through inscriptions and writings present on the sarcophagus. In terms of fashion and clothing, this piece offers a glimpse into Etruscan attire with its veiled headdress worn by both civilian and military figures depicted on the cover. Accessories such as jewelry or religious symbols further enhance our understanding of their culture. As we admire this stunning portrayal of an ancient civilization's funerary practices, it reminds us that art has always been intertwined with human existence – serving as a medium for expression across time and space. This photograph transports us back to Italy's rich history while simultaneously connecting us to Europe's broader cultural heritage.
