EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek art known as "The lion tamer". Created in the 7th century BC, this ivory sculpture is currently housed in the Archaeological Museum at Delphi, Greece. "The lion tamer" exudes an air of power and mastery over nature, as it depicts a human figure fearlessly standing before a majestic lion. The intricate carving details on the ivory bring both the human and animal forms to life, capturing their strength and grace. As we gaze upon this antique masterpiece, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece. We can almost feel the tension between man and beast, as well as admire the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such a lifelike portrayal. Luisa Ricciarini's photographic rendition of this artwork beautifully captures its essence. Through her lens, she highlights every delicate curve and line etched into the ivory surface. This photograph serves not only as a visual record but also as a testament to our fascination with history and art. "The lion tamer" stands as an enduring symbol of humanity's desire to conquer nature while simultaneously acknowledging its untamed beauty. It reminds us that even thousands of years ago, artists were able to create timeless works that continue to captivate audiences today.
