EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed close-up of the head of the iconic Capitoline Wolf, a bronze sculpture dating back to 450-430 BC. Created by an Etruscan artist during the 6th century BC, this masterpiece is now housed in the Musei Capitolini in Rome, Italy. The Capitoline Wolf holds immense significance in both Etruscan and Roman mythology. The sculpture depicts Romulus and Remus, legendary twin brothers who were raised by a she-wolf after being abandoned as infants. This particular photograph focuses on the intricate details of the wolf's head, highlighting its powerful presence and exquisite craftsmanship. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every nuance of this ancient artwork through her lens. The play of light and shadow accentuates the texture and form of the bronze sculpture, allowing viewers to appreciate its timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most enduring legends come to life. The intensity in the wolf's eyes evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue while reminding us of our deep connection with nature. Ricciarini's photography not only preserves this remarkable piece for generations to come but also invites us to contemplate humanity's fascination with mythological characters throughout antiquity.
