EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a profile portrait of an old man, believed to be the work of none other than the legendary Leonardo da Vinci. Housed in the prestigious Ambrosian Library in Milan, this drawing is a testament to da Vinci's mastery during the High Renaissance period. Dating back to the 15th or 16th century, this artwork captures the essence of old age and explores various aspects of human physiology and psychology. The subject's face, devoid of any clothing or embellishments, allows us to focus on his distinct features. His prominent nose and expressive mouth with lips that seem ready to speak reveal a wealth of character and life experiences. The drawing exemplifies both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles prevalent in Europe during that era. It serves as a reminder of how art evolved over time while still maintaining its connection to earlier periods like First and Second Millennium A. D. Photographed around 1900 by Brogi, this image preserves not only Leonardo da Vinci's artistic brilliance but also provides us with a glimpse into historical preservation efforts at one of Italy's most renowned libraries. Its inclusion in Alinari's collection ensures that this masterpiece can be admired for generations to come. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply appreciate the beauty found within every wrinkle etched on an aged face, this profile portrait offers profound insight into humanity itself. It invites contemplation about our own mortality while celebrating the individuality inherent in each person who graces our world throughout history.
