EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Etruscan art: a young swimmer diving. The fresco, found in the grave of the "diver" at the southern cemetery of Paestum, dates back to 480-470 BC and is currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Paestum, Italy. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly astounding. Every brushstroke brings life to the scene, capturing the grace and agility of the young swimmer as they dive into unknown depths. The artist's skillful use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to their body, emphasizing its natural beauty. Nudity was not uncommon in ancient art, symbolizing purity and freedom from societal constraints. In this context, it represents both physical prowess and an intimate connection with nature. This fresco offers us a glimpse into leisure activities enjoyed by ancient civilizations. It reminds us that even thousands of years ago, humans sought pleasure and relaxation through recreational pursuits such as swimming. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this masterpiece through her lens, preserving it for generations to come. Her photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and culture.
