Visions of Etruria

Abstract

I have used mythology of Etruscan origin and mythology favored by the Etruscans as subject matter for a group of sculpture. While the work draws only a little upon Etruscan pictorial style, with the exception of what is needed to ascertain appropriate details of costume and attributes, it strives to capture the essential content and spirit of the original. Each image is accompanied by a description of its content and historical background, in addition to a description of the broader context of Etruscan civilization. I hope to create an interest in and awareness of this relatively obscure subject matter.
