EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the 16th century BC, depicting a female figure near an oven holding a loaf of bread. Created by Mycenaean artists, this ancient artwork is currently housed in the Musee Archeologique in Strasbourg, France. The sculpture offers us a glimpse into the daily life and culinary practices of the Mycenaean civilization. The attention to detail in this piece is truly awe-inspiring. The skillful carving captures the grace and beauty of the female figure as she delicately holds the freshly baked loaf of bread. It serves as a testament to both their artistic prowess and their advanced manufacturing technology for that era. This artwork not only highlights the importance of food in ancient Greek culture but also sheds light on gender roles within society at that time. The woman depicted here symbolizes strength, nurturing, and domesticity as she tends to her duties in the kitchen. As we admire this artifact from antiquity, we are transported back thousands of years to witness how our ancestors lived and thrived. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also Luisa Ricciarini's talent for capturing such exquisite art pieces through her lens.
