EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Etruscan Mural from the Necropolis at Tarquinia: Tormented Souls and Mythical Creatures This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Corsi from Giulio Ferrario's "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" published in Florence in 1843, offers a glimpse into the rich and enigmatic world of Etruscan art. The image depicts a mural from the necropolis at Tarquinia, located near Rome, Italy, which dates back to the 5th century BC. The central scene of the mural showcases a group of Etruscan figures, dressed in togas, being tormented by spirits with torches and hammers. This representation of the afterlife is a common motif in Etruscan art, reflecting their beliefs in the existence of a complex and often fearsome underworld. The use of bas-relief mythical monsters, such as griffins (2, 3), adds to the otherworldly atmosphere of the painting. The figures in the mural are shown wearing various accessories, including laurel wreaths and togas, symbolizing their social status. Among them, one can identify a lictor, a Roman magistrate responsible for enforcing the law, represented by the fasces (bundles of rods) and the bipennis (axes) carried by his bodyguards. This intriguing image offers a unique window into the historical fashion, legal practices, and mythology of the ancient Etruscan civilization, providing valuable insights into their complex and fascinating culture. The hand-colored copperplate engraving, with its meticulous attention to detail, beautifully preserves the essence of this Etruscan mural from the necropolis at Tarquinia.
