EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning mural painting found in the Tomb of Typhon (Tomba del Tifone) at Tarquinia, Italy. Dating back to the 3rd-2nd Century B. C. , this Etruscan burial chamber is a remarkable archaeological site that offers a glimpse into ancient history. The focal point of this mural is an exquisite frieze depicting flying fish, or dolphins, gracefully soaring over stylized waves. The artist, L. Cartocci, beautifully captured the movement and elegance of these aquatic creatures in his watercolor rendition. Originally featured in "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert, this lithograph reproduction transports us back to 1928 when it was first published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. in Berlin. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcased in this artwork highlight not only its decorative purpose but also its significance as part of interior design during that era. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of ancient civilizations like Etruria. As we admire this piece today, we are reminded of how art transcends time and connects us with our past. This photograph captures not just an image but also evokes emotions tied to concepts such as life, death, and beauty. It invites us on a journey through history while celebrating the enduring power of artistic expression.
