EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of Greek art, specifically a marble puteal adorned with creatures from the entourage of Dionysos. Dating back to 50-25 BC, this exquisite piece is housed in the Palazzo Ducale & Museo in Mantua, Lombardy, Italy. The intricate relief on the marble surface depicts various members of the thiasos, or Dionysian retinue. These mythical beings are beautifully sculpted and serve as a testament to the artistic mastery of ancient Greece. The attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in this fragment highlight the skill and creativity of Greek sculptors during the 1st century BC. The wellhead itself, known as a puteal, was an important architectural element used to protect wells or mark sacred spaces. This particular puteal would have been an impressive addition to any ancient Greek setting. Photographer Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this remarkable artifact through her lens. Her image allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. Through her work, we can delve into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece and marvel at their artistic achievements. This print serves as a visual reminder of our connection to history and invites us to explore further into the world of ancient artistry and mythology.
