EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant mural painting found in the Tomb of the Baron (Tomba del Barone) at Tarquinia, Italy. Dating back to the 6th century BC, this Etruscan burial chamber is adorned with intricate artwork that has stood the test of time. The left corner of the mural features mounted youths and a sacrificial scene, depicting an ancient ritualistic practice. In the pediment above, one can marvel at sea-horses and flying fish (dolphins), beautifully rendered in vivid colors. This particular image is based on a watercolor by L. Cartocci and was featured as Plate XXI, figure 58 in "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" accompanied by explanatory text written by Helmuth Bossert. The photograph captures not only the artistry but also provides insight into archaeological discoveries made within this tomb. It serves as a window into Etruscan culture and their beliefs surrounding death and burial practices. With its rich history and stunning visual appeal, this print transports viewers back in time to witness both artistic mastery and cultural significance. It stands as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries while reminding us of our connection to those who came before us.
