EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an Ancient Etruscan wedding ceremony, transporting us back in time to witness a sacred union steeped in tradition. The bride and groom stand before grand doors, their hands clasped tightly together, symbolizing the unbreakable bond they are about to forge. These doors remain closed until the conclusion of the ceremony, signifying the sanctity and privacy of this momentous occasion. Above them soar majestic winged figures wielding a hammer and sword, representing strength and protection for the newlyweds as they embark on their journey together. Below them flutter ethereal winged females holding torches, illuminating their path with love and guidance. The hand-colored copperplate engraving by Corsi showcases intricate details that bring this ancient scene to life.
