EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Life-Size Wall Painting from the Necropolis of Tarquinia: A Glimpse into Etruscan Mythology and Art" This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Corsi from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and enigmatic world of Etruscan art. The painting, which originated from the necropolis of Tarquinia in central Italy, showcases the second Etruscan style, characterized by its vivid colors and dynamic compositions. The central focus of the painting is a series of life-size figures, each accompanied by their winged souls or genii. The souls, depicted as winged beings wearing ankle boots, are guiding their human counterparts through the afterlife. A woman, elegantly dressed and seated in a chariot, is pulled by two such spirits. Men, holding various objects such as rods and forks, are also present, while one spirit wields a hammer. The Etruscans, an ancient civilization that predates the Roman Republic, were renowned for their unique artistic style and intricate burial practices. Their elaborate necropoleis, or burial sites, were adorned with stunning wall paintings that often depicted scenes from mythology, daily life, and the afterlife. This painting from Tarquinia is a testament to their artistic mastery and their belief in the existence of a soul that guided the deceased in the afterlife. The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors offer a captivating window into the past, providing valuable insights into the historical fashion, mythology, and artistic sensibilities of the Etruscan people. The influence of this ancient civilization can still be seen in the art, architecture, and culture of Rome, particularly in the dome of St. Peter's Basilica and the piazza in front of it. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also an essential historical document that sheds light on the fascinating world of the Etruscans.
