EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the 2nd century BC, depicting severed heads of enemies. Created by Celtic artists, this piece is currently housed in the Musee Granet in Aix-en-Provence, France. The sculpture originates from the Oppidum Entremont in Bouches du Rhone and measures 43x52 cm. The intricate carving skillfully captures the intensity and brutality of ancient warfare. Each head displays a unique expression, revealing the artist's attention to detail and mastery of human facial features. This artwork serves as a testament to the Gaulish people's strength and resilience during this tumultuous period. Luisa Ricciarini expertly photographed this wooden carving, highlighting its rich texture and depth. The bas reliefs on each severed head add an additional layer of complexity to the overall composition. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. It reminds us of humanity's capacity for both creation and destruction, urging us to reflect on our own actions and their consequences. Through her lens, Luisa Ricciarini invites us to appreciate not only the artistic value but also the historical significance embedded within this sculpture. It stands as a symbol of cultural heritage that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless message across generations.
