EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled 'Tagete e mostri favolosi' (Tagetes and Mythical Monsters), is an exquisite example of the artistic fusion of ancient and modern aesthetics, as depicted in Giulio Ferrario's 'Il Costume Antico e Moderno' (The Ancient and Modern Costume), published in Florence in 1843. The engraving showcases two distinct yet intriguingly connected images. In the first scene, a noble Etruscan boy named Tages is portrayed as a young man with bracelets adorning his arms and legs. He stands before a wall, possibly a mural from a necropolis, holding a hammer in one hand and gazing intently at a mysterious object in the other. The serene expression on his face contrasts with the ominous presence of the monsters that lurk in the shadows. The second scene reveals the Etruscan monsters that haunt the depths of the underworld. The most prominent figure is Volta, a monstrous creature with the muzzle of a dog emerging from a tomb. Its menacing presence is further emphasized by its sharp teeth and piercing eyes. Nearby, a monstrous mermaid holds a torch, her ethereal beauty overshadowed by her terrifying appearance. Other mythical creatures, such as griffons, griffins, and chimera, add to the chaotic scene of torment and the spirits of the dead. This engraving, created by Corsi, offers a glimpse into the rich and intriguing world of ancient Etruscan mythology, merging historical accuracy with the artistic flair of the 19th century. The juxtaposition of the noble Tages and the fearsome monsters highlights the duality of life and death, the known and the unknown, and the eternal fascination with the mysteries of the past.
