Men on Horseback Hunting Boars and Bulls in Ancient Etruria
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving that captures the thrill and grandeur of a traditional Etruscan hunt. The image, created by Corsi from Giulio Ferrario's "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" published in Florence in 1843, depicts a group of Etruscan men on horseback, armed and ready to pursue wild boars and bulls. The scene takes place in an open, wooded area, with the hunters poised at the edge of a porta or gate, ready to enter the forest. The men wear helmets and protective armor, their faces focused and determined. Their horses are also outfitted with protective gear, their coats glistening with sweat from the exertion of the hunt. In the background, the walls of a city or fortification can be seen, with the towering silhouette of Volterra in the distance. The Etruscans were known for their advanced civilization, and their hunting practices were an integral part of their culture. They trained dogs and falcons to aid them in the hunt, making it a communal and social event. Mythology played a significant role in Etruscan life, and the gods Jupiter, Castor and Pollux, Tinia, Uni, Menrva, and Diana were often invoked during the hunt. The hunters believed that these deities would grant them success and protection. This stunning illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of ancient Etruria, a civilization that predates the Roman Empire. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured armor to the expressive faces of the hunters, make it a captivating work of art and a valuable historical record.
