Significant testimony to vase painting between the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, the museum's artifacts largely date back to the discoveries of Domenico Ridola (1841-1932) and form part of elaborate funerary assemblages, possessing great aesthetic and historical value through which everyday life is reflected in myths. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the book, black is the protagonist: it enhances the red figures and brings out the keen eye of photographer Luigi Spina. Anatomical details, drapery, and decorative motifs emerge in all their strength without the filter of museum cases, while touches of white enrich the vases' bichrome palette. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhotographing a work of art means capturing its deep meaning to communicate it to the world. Far from the idea of a museum catalog, the volume is rather a figurative atlas of antiquity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eText in English and Italian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luigi Spina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9791254600290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Five Continents Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Luigi Spina","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001979977983,"sku":"9791254600290","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22bc43ed-11b6-4f24-a683-65fc288b9770.jpg?v=1751602717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/red-figures-luigi-spina-9791254600290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
