EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to ancient Etruria, where men on horseback engage in the exhilarating pursuit of hunting boars and bulls. The scene is beautifully captured by Corsi, a 19th-century artist whose handcoloured copperplate engraving brings this historical moment to life. In this vibrant illustration, we witness the skill and bravery of these sportsmen as they navigate their horses through rugged terrain, showcasing their prowess as equestrians. The Etruscans were known for their exceptional horsemanship skills, and here we see them harnessing the power and agility of these magnificent animals for both sport and survival. Accompanying them on this thrilling hunt are dogs trained specifically for tracking down prey, while falcons soar above, ready to assist in capturing elusive game. This display of teamwork between man and beast highlights the deep connection that existed between humans and animals during this era. The gilded silver patera or bowl depicted in the image adds an element of luxury to this ancient pastime. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the excitement of the hunt, there was an appreciation for artistry and craftsmanship within Etruscan society. Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern" series provides us with valuable insights into fashion trends from different periods throughout history. This particular illustration offers a glimpse into not only sporting traditions but also societal norms during ancient times. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have been
