EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Mirrors with Hercules and Atlanta and a youth on horseback" which is currently preserved in the Gregorian Etruscan Museum, located within Vatican City. The museum itself is part of the renowned Vatican Museums, housing an extensive collection of ancient artifacts that shed light on Etruscan art and civilization. Dating back to approximately 1942, this photograph captures the essence of an artwork believed to have originated in the 5th century BC. The mirror depicts various elements from Greek mythology, prominently featuring Hercules, Atlanta, and a youthful figure mounted on a horse. These mythological characters are surrounded by intricate details such as military helmets, headdresses (both civilian and military), fashion accessories, and animal skins. The composition beautifully portrays not only these mythical figures but also highlights aspects of human anatomy through its depiction of nude male adolescents. This blend of divinity and humanity adds depth to the scene depicted on this mirror. The significance of this artwork lies in its representation of Greco-Roman culture within Etruscan art. It serves as a testament to Italy's rich history as part of ancient civilizations that greatly influenced European cultures. Photographed by Anderson from Alinari, this image allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces while providing valuable insights into our collective past. Its presence within the Gregorian Etruscan Museum ensures that it continues to be cherished for generations to come.
