EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "Etruscan civilization: the deity Juno protector (or Iuno sospita)" offers a glimpse into the rich mythology and artistic prowess of ancient Etruria. Created between 500-480 BC, this exquisite piece stands at a diminutive 12.5 cm in height but carries immense cultural significance. Juno, known as Iuno Sospita or rescuer Juno, is depicted here with remarkable attention to detail and craftsmanship. The artist, Luisa Ricciarini, skillfully captures the essence of this mythological character through intricate metalwork and delicate carving techniques. The sculpture showcases Juno's divine presence as she stands tall with an air of authority and protection. Her flowing robes drape gracefully around her figure while her face exudes strength and wisdom. This portrayal reflects both the power associated with Juno as well as her role as a guardian deity. Displayed in Florence's Museo Archeologico Nazionale, this artwork serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Etruscan civilization. It not only highlights their mastery in sculpting but also sheds light on their religious beliefs and reverence for deities like Juno. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to an era where art was intertwined with spirituality and mythology held great sway over daily life. Through its timeless beauty, this sculpture invites us to explore the mysteries of ancient civilizations and appreciate their contributions to our collective human heritage.
