EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bed ornament with a low ivory relief from the 14th century BC, discovered at the ancient site of Ugarit in Syria. The intricate carving depicts a powerful king threatening his enemy, offering us a glimpse into the violent and competitive nature of Phoenician civilization. The artwork is an extraordinary example of prehistoric art, revealing the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. The level of detail in this bas-relief is astonishing, as every line and curve on the king's figure conveys strength and authority. It is evident that this piece was created with great care and precision. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of danger and fear emanating from it. The tension between these two figures is palpable, capturing the essence of rivalry and conflict that has existed throughout human history. This photograph not only serves as an archaeological artifact but also highlights the significance of art as a medium for expressing emotions such as anguish, anxiety, and angst. It reminds us that even in ancient times, people used their artistic skills to depict moments of confrontation and battle. Luisa Ricciarini's expert capture allows us to appreciate both the historical value and artistic beauty contained within this remarkable piece.
