EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a powerful Etruscan warrior triumphantly riding in a quadriga, or four-horse chariot, during a major triumphal parade. The warrior, dressed in intricately detailed armor, holds a shield in one hand and raises the other in a victorious gesture. Behind him, a shield-bearer follows, also adorned in armor, ensuring the warrior's protection. The quadriga is led by a procession of musicians, trumpeters, and other attendants, all dressed in the traditional garb of the Etruscan people. The musicians play various instruments, including lyres and tibias, adding to the celebratory atmosphere of the parade. The scene is taken from an alabaster grave stone relief, showcasing the grandeur and opulence of Etruscan culture. The quadriga is a common symbol of victory and triumph in ancient civilizations, and this image provides a fascinating glimpse into the historical fashion and customs of the Etruscan people. The intricate details of the engraving, created by Corsi for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," offer a captivating and detailed representation of this important historical moment. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning work of art and an invaluable resource for students of ancient history and fashion.
