EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Etruscans in garlands lying on couches at a feast" transports us back to ancient times. The scene depicts a lavish banquet where Etruscan nobles recline on sumptuous couches adorned with garlands. Servants diligently attend to their needs, bringing forth an abundance of food and wine. The atmosphere is filled with enchanting melodies as musicians play the lyre, panpipes, and flute. Their harmonious tunes create an ambiance of celebration and joy. This gathering showcases the opulence and sophistication of Etruscan society. Notably, these Etruscans were known for their ample figures, earning them the nickname "fat Etruscans" or "fat Tyrrhnians". However, this physical characteristic does not diminish their elegance or enjoyment of this grand feast. The hand-colored copperplate engraving by Corsi beautifully captures every detail of this historical moment. It is part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned work, "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1843. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the banqueting customs and fashion trends that prevailed during ancient times. It serves as a reminder that feasting has always been an integral part of human culture—a time when people come together to indulge in delectable food while being serenaded by melodic strains.
