EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Greece, known as the Tablet representing the epiphany of the Dioscures. Created during the end of the 4th century BC or beginning of the 3rd century BC, this clay tablet is currently housed in Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Taranto, Apuglia, Italy. The tablet depicts an awe-inspiring scene within a Naiskos (a small temple-like structure). At its center are the mythical figures of Castor and Pollux, also known as the Dioscures or Gemini Twins. These legendary brothers were revered as protectors and patrons of sailors and travelers. Carved with great precision and artistry, this ancient masterpiece measures 44x40 cm. It offers us a glimpse into Magna Graecia (Great Greece) during its heyday. The intricate details on this tablet highlight not only Greek mythology but also provide insights into their religious beliefs and artistic techniques. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography captures every nuance of this extraordinary artifact. Through her lens, we can appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. This image serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, these remnants from antiquity continue to inspire wonder and admiration. As we explore this photograph further, let us immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of Greek culture while marveling at how art has always been an essential medium for storytelling across time and civilizations.
