EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a feminine stelae statue from the Eneolithic era, carved out of sandstone. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this anthropomorphic monument, discovered in Treschietto di Bagnone (MS), Italy. As part of the megalithism phenomenon that prevailed among pre/proto-historical populations in Europe between the 4th and 1st millennium B. C. , this sculpture holds immense historical significance. The statue's feminine figure exudes an air of mystery and abstraction, inviting viewers to delve into its enigmatic past. Its portrayal highlights elements such as nipples and breasts, symbolizing fertility and femininity prevalent during the Copper Age. This artifact is a testament to the rich archaeological heritage found within Italy's borders. Displayed in an archaeological museum located in Pontremoli, Tuscany, this piece stands alongside other exhibits from protohistory. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity and artistic expression during ancient times. The monolithic structure commands attention with its massiveness while retaining delicate features that showcase the skillful hands behind its creation. Photographed by Elena Piccini for Fine Art Finder's collection, this image captures not only the physical beauty but also preserves history for generations to come. It invites us to ponder upon our roots and appreciate how far humanity has evolved since those distant eras when stone statues like these were revered as sacred symbols of power and spirituality.
