EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of an ancient masterpiece, the Alabaster cinerary urn representing Orestes and Pylade in Tauris. Once housed in the Museum Bargagli in Sarteano, this remarkable artifact now finds its home within the hallowed halls of the National Archeological Museum in Siena. Dating back to the III-I centuries, this Etruscan artwork is a testament to Italy's rich history and ancient civilization. The urn depicts a scene from Greek mythology, showcasing Orestes and Pylade amidst their tumultuous journey in Tauris. Their naked bodies exude both vulnerability and strength as they navigate through psychological turmoil. The composition evokes a range of emotions - from melancholy sadness to aggression - reflecting human psychology at its core. The male figure, Orestes, stands tall with determination etched upon his face while his companion Pylade exhibits empathy and loyalty by his side. The intricate details carved into the alabaster surface highlight not only the artist's skill but also serve as a window into Etruscan artistry. Each curve and contour tells a story of individuality, capturing physiological aspects that define our humanity. As we gaze upon this photograph taken between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary piece of Greco-Roman influence on Italian soil. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with our existence; it speaks volumes about our collective past while offering insights into our present-day society. Let us cherish these remnants from antiquity for they hold within them secrets waiting to be unveiled – tales of love, friendship, struggle, and triumph that transcend time itself.
