EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a selection of exquisite Etruscan tableware, showcased at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. Etruscan art, originating from the ancient civilization of Etruria in Italy, dates back to the 8th century BCE. The production of tableware in Etruria was heavily influenced by the works of Greek potters, with some pieces directly inspired by imported Greek pottery and others created by Greek artisans residing in Etruria. Etruscan ceramics are renowned for their intricate decorative motifs, which often featured geometric patterns, ornamental designs, and figurative scenes. The vessels on display in this print include basins, bowls, and vases, all adorned with vibrant, painted decoration. These decorative elements were not only functional, but also held significant cultural and historical importance for the Etruscan civilization. The Etruscans were an advanced civilization, with a rich culture that significantly influenced the development of Western European art and civilization. Their art, including tableware, is a testament to their artistic prowess and their close connections to the Greek world. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek's impressive collection of Etruscan tableware offers a glimpse into the history and artistic achievements of this ancient civilization, providing a valuable window into the past.
