EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Haruspice" bronze sculpture from the 3rd century BC. Created by an Etruscan artist, this ancient artwork can be found in the Villa Giulia museum in Rome, Italy. The sculpture depicts an aruspice, also known as a haruspex, who was a priest responsible for interpreting omens and predicting future events through examining animal entrails. In this piece, we witness the haruspex intently reading presages within the bowels of a sacrificed animal. Measuring at 34 cm tall, this bronze masterpiece is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creator. The intricate details carved into every inch of the sculpture bring it to life, showcasing both human form and divine ritual. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this Etruscan artwork. Through her lens, we are transported back in time to witness an ancient practice that held great importance in Etruscan society. This print serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their unique beliefs. It invites us to contemplate how different cultures throughout history have sought guidance from divination practices like haruspicy.
