EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art known as the Trone Ludovisi, which is part of Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi's collection. The right relief depicted in this image portrays a woman adorned in a chiton (tunic) and himation (mantle), gracefully tossing incense seeds into a Thymiaterion, or perfume burner. Created between 470-460 BC, this marble relief can be found at the Palazzo Altemps in Rome, within the National Museum Magna Graecia. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this artwork transport us back to ancient Greece during the 5th century BC. The woman's elegant attire and poised gesture illustrate her involvement in religious rituals or ceremonies where incense played an important role. This depiction provides valuable insight into the cultural practices and beliefs of that time period. Originally located at Villa Ludovisi (Horti Sallustiani) in Rome, this particular panel was later moved to Museo Nazionale Romano for preservation purposes. Its inclusion in Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi's esteemed collection further emphasizes its significance as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. Photographer Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured every delicate detail of this marble relief, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty from afar. Through her lens, we are able to admire not only the skillful execution but also gain a deeper understanding of ancient Greek culture and their reverence for ritualistic practices such as burning incense seeds.
