EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study of the head of a bearded man turned to the left, created in 1590 by Barocci or Baroccio, Federico Fiori. The artwork is executed using black, red, yellow and white chalk on faded blue paper. Measuring 23.5x17.7 cm, this piece belongs to a private collection. The subject of this study is Saint Joseph's head in Baroccis Circumcision at the Louvre Museum. With meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of various chalk colors, Barocci captures the essence of this mature man's expression and features. The image focuses on the close-up view of the bearded man's face as he looks away with a gentle smile playing on his lips. His grey hair and balding pattern add depth to his character while conveying maturity and wisdom. This work exemplifies Italian art from the late sixteenth century during the Renaissance period. It reflects elements of mannerism with its expressive facial features and attention to naturalistic details. With its vibrant colors against faded blue paper, this drawing evokes a sense of timelessness that transcends centuries. It serves as an exquisite example of old master drawings that continue to captivate viewers with their beauty and artistic mastery. Overall, this print offers us an intimate glimpse into an artist's process as they meticulously studied human expressions and captured them on paper for posterity.
