EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to the ancient Etruscan civilization in the 5th century BC. The image showcases a remarkable stele, an upright stone slab, that vividly depicts two distinct scenes of great significance. In the upper portion of the stele, we witness a mesmerizing journey as a deceased individual embarks on their final voyage atop a wagon. The intricate details and patterns carved into the stone bring this funerary art to life, capturing our imagination and curiosity about their beliefs surrounding death and afterlife. Beneath this scene lies another fascinating portrayal—a hero suckling on a wild beast. This depiction symbolizes strength, courage, and perhaps even divine protection for both the hero and those who mourned them. Against a striking black background, this animal representation stands out with its powerful presence. The studio shot highlights every nuance of this magnificent sculpture—its vertical composition emphasizing its grandeur. The equus caballus or horse featured in this artwork adds an element of gracefulness while reinforcing themes of journey and transportation. This male likeness is not just mere craftsmanship; it represents artistic mastery at its finest—an exquisite example of Etruscan antiquities that have stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this print without any people present, we are reminded of how art can transcend generations and speak volumes about civilizations long gone
