"City of Chiusi, Etruria", by T. M. Richardson, from the exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water-Colours, 1864. Engraving of a painting. Away from the high road between Rome and Siena, and therefore seldom visited by the modern traveller, the city of Chiusi stands on the site of the ancient Clusium, one of the twelve cities of the Etruscan League, once the most important political capital in Etruria...Clusium is also memorable for the marvellous accounts in the pages of Pliny and Varro of the mausoleum and labyrinth of Porsena. The town is now literally undermined by subterranean passages; and although some of them were possibly connected with the sewerage of the ancient city, there are many others the purposes of which are still a mystery...It will be seen by our Engraving that Chiusi is most picturesquely situated on an acropolis-like eminence (the road to which is a long and steep ascent), and that it overlooks a small but beautiful lake, to which the city gives its name of Lago di Chiusi'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ancient city of Chiusi, Etruria, as depicted in a painting by T. M. Richardson from the 1864 exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water-Colours. The image transports us back in time to a place steeped in history and mystery.
Chiusi, once known as Clusium, was one of the twelve cities of the Etruscan League and served as an important political capital in Etruria. The city's significance is further highlighted by its association with legendary figures such as Porsena, whose mausoleum and labyrinth were subjects of marvel for ancient writers like Pliny and Varro.
The engraving showcases Chiusi perched on an acropolis-like eminence overlooking the picturesque Lago di Chiusi. The town's charm is evident even from a distance, with its narrow streets winding through historic buildings that whisper tales of times long past.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that lies within these ancient walls and underground passages shrouded in mystery. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to the past and the importance of preserving these historical treasures for future generations to cherish and explore.
