EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costumes of ancient Greek queens, as depicted on ancient vases. The artwork, created by Corsi in the 19th century, beautifully captures the opulence and grandeur associated with these regal figures. In this particular image, two queens are portrayed donning rich clothing while attended to by their loyal entourage. At the top of the composition, one queen gazes into a mirror held by her servant, highlighting both her beauty and vanity. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold of fabric and ornate accessory is meticulously handcoloured. The presence of a winged genius adds an ethereal touch to the scene, symbolizing divine protection or guidance for these powerful women. Adorned with fillets and other regal adornments, they embody elegance and authority. This illustration comes from Giulio Ferrario's renowned work "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1842. It offers us a glimpse into history through fashion, shedding light on how ancient Greek queens presented themselves to society. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness not only their attire but also gain insight into Greek mythology and cultural practices that shaped their lives.
