EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Greece - the handle of a mirror in the shape of a young girl wearing a peplos. Dating back to the 5th century BC, this exquisite piece was discovered at the sanctuary of Persephone in Locri Epizefiri, Italy. The delicate craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this bronze sculpture. The graceful curves and flowing lines bring life to the young girl's figure, capturing her beauty and elegance. The peplos she wears, a traditional Greek garment, adds an authentic touch to this timeless artwork. As we gaze upon this mirror handle, we are transported back in time to an era where beauty care held great significance. This object served as an essential accessory for grooming and self-care rituals during ancient times. It speaks volumes about the importance placed on personal appearance and aesthetics by Greek society. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this archaeological treasure through her lens, preserving its historical value for generations to come. Her skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the artistic merit but also the cultural significance behind such artifacts. Displayed at Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Reggio Calabria, Italy today, this mirror handle stands as a testament to Greece's rich history and artistic legacy. Its presence reminds us of our shared human fascination with beauty across centuries and continents.
