EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a fragment of the Griso-Laboccetta plate, a stunning work in polychrome terracotta from a shrine dedicated to Hera. Preserved at the National Museum in Reggio Calabria, Italy, this ancient artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich history and artistry of ancient Greece. Dating back to the 6th century BC, this relief showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of Archaic Greek art. The intricate design depicts various elements such as figures in period costumes, fashion and clothing that reflect the cultural norms of that time. The focus on body parts – feet and arms – along with glimpses of nudity highlights both human anatomy and sensuality prevalent in ancient Greek culture. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined art was with everyday life during this era. Photographed around 1960 by Alinari Fratelli, renowned for their expertise in capturing historical artifacts through their lens, this image transports us back thousands of years to witness firsthand an invaluable piece of our collective heritage. As we gaze upon this relic from an ancient civilization, we are reminded not only of its artistic significance but also its historical importance. This artwork symbolizes the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us; it is a testament to their creativity and ingenuity. Let us cherish these fragments from our past so meticulously preserved at museums like Reggio di Calabria National Museum. They serve as bridges connecting us with our ancestors while inspiring future generations to appreciate and learn from our shared human history.
