EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Pompa di un Sacrifizio" (Procession of a Sacrifice), offers a glimpse into the enigmatic world of Etruscan sacrificial rites as depicted on a gilded silver vase. The image, created by Corsi from Giulio Ferrario's seminal work "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" (Ancient and Modern Costumes of the Peoples of the World), published in Florence in 1843, showcases two lines of celebrants making their way towards an altar. The Etruscans, an ancient civilization that predates the Roman Empire, were renowned for their elaborate religious practices. This engraving illustrates the solemn procession of men, dressed in togas and tunics, bearing sheep for sacrifice. The men's calzari (shoes) and tuniche (tunics) are intricately detailed, providing a glimpse into the historical fashion of the Etruscan people. The altar, adorned with a bronze statue, stands as a testament to the reverence and awe with which the Etruscans approached their religious rituals. The gilded silver vase, from which the scene is depicted, adds an air of opulence and importance to the proceedings. The intricate details of this engraving offer a fascinating window into the past, providing insights into the religious practices, fashion, and art of the Etruscan civilization. The image is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to captivate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
