EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the ancient Etruscan civilization. The image captures a Kantharos, also known as a cantharus, which was discovered in the tomb of the bronze tank in Vulci, Italy. Dating back to 680-670 BC, this exquisite ceramic piece is now housed at Villa Giulia in Rome. The Kantharos stands out with its elegant design and intricate details. Crafted by skilled Etruscan artisans, it measures approximately 7.2 cm in height and has a diameter of 7.6 cm. Its graceful shape and delicate handles make it an exceptional example of Etruscan pottery. This artifact provides us with valuable insights into the artistic prowess and cultural practices of the Etruscans during their heyday. The use of kantharoi like this one was prevalent in religious rituals and feasts among the ancient people. Photographer Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured every nuance of this historical treasure through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also pays homage to both Ricciarini's talent and the enduring legacy of Etruscan art. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the craftsmanship that flourished over two millennia ago – reminding us of our shared human history and our eternal fascination with artistry from times long past.
