EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing piece of ancient art. The focal point is a large mask made of delicate gold leaf, adorning the face of a woman. Its intricate carvings and shimmering surface evoke an air of mystery and elegance. Surrounding this magnificent centerpiece are five smaller gold masks, each with its own unique design. Dating back to the 17th and 12th century BC, these Phoenician artifacts were discovered in Tartus, Syria. They provide us with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region during prehistoric times. This particular artwork now resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The photographer, Luisa Ricciarini, has skillfully captured every detail and nuance of these precious relics through her lens. Her photograph not only preserves their beauty but also serves as a testament to their historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship and creativity flourished. It reminds us that art has always been an integral part of human existence – transcending boundaries and connecting us across centuries. This print is not just about metal or carving; it represents our collective fascination with archaeology and our innate desire to uncover stories from our past. It invites us to appreciate the ingenuity of those who came before us while igniting our imagination about what lies beyond the frame - both literally and metaphorically.
