EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "An haruspice, a priest reading press in the bowels" takes us back to ancient Rome in the 3rd century BC. Created by Etruscan artist Luisa Ricciarini, this artwork is now housed at Villa Giulia in Rome, Italy. The sculpture depicts an aruspice or haruspice, a priest skilled in divination through examining animal entrails. In this mesmerizing piece, we witness the intense concentration of the priest as he reads the signs within the bowels. The level of detail and craftsmanship evident in this work is truly remarkable. Through this artwork, we are transported to a time when clairvoyance played a significant role in society. The aruspices held great influence as they interpreted these omens for important decisions and predictions about human fate. The use of bronze adds depth and texture to the sculpture while capturing every intricate feature of both subject and medium. This masterpiece serves as a testament to Etruscan artistry and their deep connection with spirituality. As we gaze upon this ancient relic from centuries past, we are reminded of our shared human history and how our ancestors sought answers through various means like divination. It invites us to ponder on our own beliefs and practices today while marveling at the skillful hands that brought this timeless piece into existence.
