EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Michelangelo showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of a female portrait. The subject, depicted in profile, exudes an air of mystery and elegance. Every stroke of the artist's hand brings forth intricate details that bring this woman to life. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of depth and dimension, allowing us to study every contour of her face. It is as if we are witnessing Michelangelo's exploration into the complexities of human expression through this intimate portrayal. Originally created as an illustration for Facsimiles of Original Studies by Michael Angelo in the University Galleries at Oxford, this print holds historical significance. Etched meticulously by Joseph Fisher in 1865, it serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by one of history's greatest artists. Now part of a private collection, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this portrait, we can't help but wonder about the story behind those eyes and what thoughts may have occupied her mind during Michelangelo's studies. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Michelangelo's technical skill but also his ability to capture the essence and individuality within each subject he portrayed. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with our shared humanity across centuries.
