EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry. The carved petroglyph, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC, is an exquisite depiction of various figures and animals. Measuring 308x240 cm, this granite masterpiece resides in the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The intricate details etched into the stone reveal a rich tapestry of symbols from a bygone era. Figures stand alongside deer, elk, birds, boats, and circles – each element representing significant aspects of life during that time period. This artwork offers us a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs and customs of our ancestors. Discovered at Besov Nos on the eastern shore of Lake Onega in Karelia, Russia's ancient region known for its archaeological findings, this petroglyph holds immense historical value. Its preservation allows us to connect with our distant past and appreciate the artistic skills possessed by those who came before us. As we marvel at this extraordinary find through this print captured by Karelian photographers and made available through Fine Art Finder's collection from Bridgeman Images website (www. bridgemanimages. com), let us reflect upon the enduring legacy left behind by these prehistoric artists. Their creations continue to inspire awe and curiosity as we strive to unravel their meaning centuries later.
