EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting titled "Berenice (Berenice II of Egypt) cutting his hair" by Bernardo Strozzi. Created around 1615, this masterpiece can be found at the Museo del Castello Sforzesco in Milan, Italy. The painting depicts a legendary moment when Berenice II of Egypt courageously cuts off her long locks, which would later become the constellation Comae Berenices. Strozzi's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he captures the essence of this historical event. The composition focuses on Berenice herself, a young girl with an air of regality and determination. Her delicate features are beautifully portrayed against a backdrop that exudes ancient Egyptian grandeur. The artist skillfully incorporates symbolism into the scene; scissors, an instrument synonymous with transformation and change, take center stage as they sever Berenice's flowing tresses. This act not only represents personal sacrifice but also symbolizes power and devotion to her people. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this remarkable artwork through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty and significance even from afar. With its rich colors and intricate details preserved in this high-quality print, art enthusiasts can now bring home a piece of history that celebrates both artistic mastery and ancient Egyptian culture.
