EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "PHYSIOGNOMY, c1533. Man and woman of excellent disposition" takes us back to the Renaissance era. The woodcut, created in 1533 by Bartolommeo Cocles for his book Physiognomonia, showcases a man and woman with remarkable features. The man's face exudes confidence and kindness. His curly hair is neatly combed, framing his strong jawline. He wears an elegant hat that adds a touch of sophistication to his appearance. One cannot help but be drawn to his warm expression, which suggests a genuine goodness within him. Beside him stands a woman radiating gracefulness and charm. Her hair cascades down in soft curls, accentuating her delicate features. She too dons an exquisite hat that complements her refined demeanor perfectly. Her face reflects intelligence and compassion - qualities that are mirrored in her eyes. Both figures epitomize the ideals of beauty during the Renaissance period - not only physically attractive but also possessing inner virtues that make them truly exceptional individuals. This woodcut serves as a testament to the artistry prevalent during this time while also shedding light on the significance placed on physiognomy - the belief that one's facial features could reveal their character traits or destiny. As we admire this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back centuries ago when physical appearances were believed to hold deeper meanings about one's personality – capturing both our imagination and curiosity about this
