AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful replica of an archaeological terracotta reproduction.
The term "tanagrine" derives from "TANAGRA," the ancient city of Greece. The term was adopted to define terracotta figurines of a type similar to those found in places like Centuripe and in other areas of Magna Graecia. They depict delicate and graceful girls, in many cases dancers; the production of these terracotta figurines developed in Centuripe around the 3rd century BCE, and the figurines were used as popular funerary offerings.
Centuripe will earn the title of Tanagra of Sicily.

Seller's Story

Master of archaeological art, ceramographer and memory-keeper, sculptor and painter in Greco-Roman ceramics!! Archaeological replicas using ancient techniques. Greco-Roman pottery workshop, Centuripe, Sicily, Italy Rosario Muni, born in Centuripe on December 1, 1974, has devoted much of his life to studying the historical testimonies of Greco-Roman civilization. In this context he developed an increasing interest in the art and culture of antiquity. From a young age, he deepened his study of historical artifacts and honed his artistic skills, initially cultivated during his schooling. Driven by the desire to deepen his knowledge, he has collected over time information useful for understanding past methods and techniques, with the aim of enhancing his artistic abilities. Today he is recognized as a Master of Art and dedicates himself to reproducing works inspired by classical antiquity, re-presenting subjects and techniques that closely recall the original archaeological artifacts found around Centuripe, some of which are housed in international museums. His works also arise thanks to collaboration with family members, who for generations have passed down artisanal knowledge related to artistic workmanship. His main aim is to valorize the aesthetic and cultural heritage of the classical world, highlighting the refinement of both everyday objects and the sculptures that have marked the historical identity of that civilization.
