EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning gold ring with a scarab design, dating back to the 4th century BC in Ancient Greece. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in the engraved burin work and regrowth relief on the ring's surface. At its center, we see a seated figure of Electra, her head bowed and focused on removing the cloak covering her face. Electra, a mythological character from Greek mythology, is depicted here with great attention to detail. The artist has captured her intent expression as she delicately removes the veil that conceals her features. This portrayal highlights Electra's inner turmoil and determination. The ring was discovered in tomb 442 within the Arsenale area of Taranto, Italy - an important site known for its rich archaeological finds from Magna Graecia (Great Greece). It now resides in Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures this ancient artifact through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance. Her photograph not only preserves this valuable piece of art but also invites us to delve into the world of ancient Greek culture and mythology.
