EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tarasque de Noves, a Gallo-Roman sculpture dating back to the 1st century. Housed in the Musee Calvet in Avignon, France, this ancient artwork is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of its time. The Tarasque de Noves is an intriguing depiction of an imaginary character from French mythology. This monstrous creature, intricately carved out of stone, exudes both awe and fear with its fierce countenance and imposing stature. Its presence transports viewers back to a bygone era when mythical creatures roamed the lands. Giancarlo Costa's skillful photography captures every detail of this remarkable sculpture, allowing us to appreciate its craftsmanship even through a printed medium. The play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, enhancing our understanding of the intricate carvings that bring this mythical being to life. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported not only to ancient times but also to the beautiful region of Provence Riviera where it resides. The Rhone mouths provide a stunning backdrop for this piece as it stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history. This print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time and space. It invites us into worlds unknown while simultaneously connecting us with our shared cultural heritage.
