EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Cuirass, a male torso armor dating back to the end of the 4th century BC. Created by Greek artisans, this bronze masterpiece is currently housed in Museo Archeologico in Bari, Apulia, Italy. The Cuirass is an exceptional example of art from Great Greece and was modeled after a man's chest. Originating from Canosa, Italy, it stands at an impressive height of 53 cm with a diameter of 35 cm. Crafted using bronze lamina and hammering techniques, it exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail prevalent during that era. The two valves forming this magnificent piece are sculpted with great precision to mimic the anatomical features of a male torso. Its design not only serves as protective armor but also reflects the artistic prowess and ingenuity of ancient Greek civilization. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures every intricate detail through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. This photograph transports us back in time to witness firsthand the remarkable skill and creativity employed by these ancient craftsmen. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our rich archaeological heritage and how each artifact tells a unique story about our past. The Cuirass symbolizes strength, resilience, and human ingenuity - qualities that have transcended time and continue to inspire us today.
