EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of an ancient fresco depicting flying fishes, also known as terns, dating back to 2500 BC. The artwork belongs to the Cycladic art style and is currently housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. The image transports us back thousands of years to the island of Melos, specifically the site of Phylakopi, where this remarkable piece was discovered. Measuring 23 cm in diameter, it offers a glimpse into the artistic prowess and creativity of the Cycladic civilization. The delicate brushstrokes capture the graceful movement and ethereal beauty of these sea swallows as they soar through an imaginary underwater realm. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to these ancient creatures that once inhabited Greek waters. Cycladic art holds immense historical significance as it provides invaluable insights into early Aegean civilizations. This particular fresco fragment serves as a testament to their deep connection with nature and their ability to depict its wonders on various mediums. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures this mesmerizing artwork through her lens, allowing us all to appreciate its timeless allure. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of our shared human history but also of the enduring power and beauty found within nature itself.
