EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the ancient Etruscan civilization in Italy. Carved out of nenfro, a grey tufa stone, this masterpiece depicts a youth gracefully riding atop a hippocampus, also known as a sea-horse. The sculpture was discovered in Vulci, Montalto di Castro, Viterbo Province and dates back to the 6th century B. C. Against a striking black background, the full-length statue stands tall and proud, despite its visible signs of damage over time. This studio shot captures every intricate detail of the artwork's craftsmanship and historical significance. The Etruscans were renowned for their artistic prowess and this sculpture is no exception. The artist skillfully portrays human representation through this mythical creature - the combination of youthful beauty with an ethereal sea-horse creates an enchanting visual narrative. As we gaze upon this vertical composition from a side view perspective, our attention is drawn to the delicate curves of both rider and steed. The meticulously carved tail of the hippocampus adds movement and dynamism to the piece. This archeological artifact serves as an evocative reminder of Italy's rich past and cultural heritage. It transports us back in time to when ancient civilizations flourished on these lands. Through art like this magnificent sculpture from Montalto di Castro, we are able to connect with history on a profound level – appreciating not only its aesthetic value but also its ability to tell stories that transcend generations.
