EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Etruscan Dress, a true masterpiece from the Trachten der Voelker collection dating back to 1864. Created by the talented artist Albert Kretschmer, this colour lithograph captures the essence of traditional costume and livery worn by soldiers, warriors, priests, and individuals of wealth during ancient times. Every intricate detail is brought to life in this image - from the gleaming spears and swords held firmly in their hands to the ornate headdresses and helmets adorning their heads. The male figures emanate strength and power while the females exude grace and elegance. Intriguing elements such as mirrors or looking glasses are strategically placed throughout the composition, symbolizing self-reflection or perhaps vanity. Laurel wreaths rest upon some heads as a mark of victory or achievement. A jug adds an element of practicality amidst all grandeur while a shawl drapes gracefully over one figure's shoulder. The scene transports us back in time to ancient Etruria (also known as Tyrrhenia), where these striking garments were once proudly worn. This mesmerizing piece not only serves as a visual feast but also offers a glimpse into history through its representation of clothing styles prevalent during that era. Displayed within this private collection, it is evident why this artwork has stood the test of time. Its beauty continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when first created over a century ago.
