EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two ancient menhirs, dating back to the Iron Age between 1100-800 BC. These towering stone monuments, found near La Spezia in Italy's Lunigiana region, depict a man and a woman. The intricate carvings on these megaliths offer a glimpse into the prehistoric artistry of that era. The image captures the essence of human archaeology and prehistory, as it reveals the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating these monumental structures. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each figure intricately carved to represent distinct features such as facial expressions and arm positions. These menhirs stand tall against the backdrop of history, silently narrating stories from an ancient time. They symbolize the connection between humans and their environment during this period of human civilization. Photographer Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this moment frozen in time. Her lens brings out every nuance of these stone figures - their weathered surfaces reflecting centuries gone by. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years ago when our ancestors roamed this land. It serves as a reminder of our shared past and highlights the importance of preserving and studying archaeological treasures like these menhirs for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
