EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of a wall painting from the Tomb of the Leopards in the Necropolis of Tarquinia. The scene depicted is that of a Citharist, surrounded by dancers and musicians, showcasing the vibrant energy and artistic prowess of Etruscan civilization. Dated back to 490 BC, this ancient artwork provides us with a glimpse into an era long gone. The youth portrayed in this image exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, dressed in exquisite period costume that reflects the fashion and clothing trends prevalent during that time. Their hairdo and hairstyle are meticulously arranged, adding to their allure. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly the cithara, an ancient musical instrument resembling a lyre. Its presence symbolizes not only the importance placed on music but also highlights its role as a means for emotional expression within Etruscan society. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph offers insight into both physiological and psychological aspects. The individual's youthful appearance suggests vitality while their facial expression hints at emotions concealed beneath their mantle cloak. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this moment in time through his lens in 2002. This stunning piece serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage and reminds us of our connection to past civilizations. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty found within art but also encourages contemplation about our own place within history.
