EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of ancient Greek hairstyles and tiaras, as depicted on Etruscan vases discovered in the Kingdom of Naples. The image, a beautiful copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga, is based on an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani from his comprehensive work, '100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans.' The engraving captures the essence of classical civilization, with Greek women adorned in intricate hairstyles and ornate tiaras. The hairstyles range from simple braids and buns to elaborate updos, all held in place by various forms of bands and pins. Some hairstyles are adorned with flowers or other natural elements, while others feature intricate gold or silver diadems and tiaras. The Etruscan vases, which date back to the 6th to 3rd centuries BC, provide valuable insights into the fashion and culture of ancient civilizations. The Greeks, known for their love of beauty and elegance, are particularly well-represented in the engraving. The tiaras, a symbol of status and wealth, are a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the ancient world. The print, produced in Rome in 1802, is a stunning example of the intricacy and detail that can be achieved through the copperplate engraving technique. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration allows us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of ancient Greek hairstyles and tiaras, transporting us back in time to the classical civilization that produced them.
