An Etruscan Couple

An Etruscan Couple
This funerary sculpture of an aristocratic Etruscan a couple illustrates at a glance how cosmopolitan the Etruscans were. Though the theme is Etruscan, the art is derived from archaic Greece. In fact, the Etruscans were avid admirers of Greek art, a taste that they passed on to early Romans(Deutsches Archaologisches Institut, Rome)

J.Garcia, buonacoppi, Paolo Tanino have particularly liked this photo

In recent years archaeologists have found traces of numerous early peoples in Italy. The origins of these cultures and the precise relations with one another not yet well understood. In fact, no clear account of the prehistory of Italy is yet possible. Of the period before the appearance of the Etruscans (1200-750 B.C) one foundational fact is indisputable: peoples speaking Indo-European languages were moving into Italy from the north, probably in small groups. They were part of the awesome but imperfectly understood movement of peoples that spread the Indo-European family of Languages from Spain to India. ~ Page 132
