EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Aristotle and Phyllis, a captivating print from the renowned artist Leonardo da Vinci's collection of drawings, showcases an intriguing scene set in Renaissance Italy. Created around 1480 but published in 1945 as part of 'The Drawings of Leonardo da Vinci, ' this monochrome artwork captures a moment steeped in Greek mythology and human folly. In this composition, we witness Aristotle, the great philosopher and teacher, being carried on the back of Phyllis, a seductive woman known for her cunning nature. The image symbolizes the power dynamics between men and women while also exploring themes of punishment and humiliation. Leonardo's meticulous pen strokes bring to life the characters' expressions and gestures with remarkable detail. Aristotle is seen gesturing with his raised arm as if trying to assert control or reason with Phyllis. Meanwhile, she crawls forward on hands and knees, showcasing her dominance over him. This thought-provoking portrayal serves as a reminder that even esteemed intellectuals like Aristotle can fall prey to temptation or manipulation. It reflects both Leonardo's artistic genius and his deep understanding of human psychology. As we delve into this black-and-white masterpiece from the mid-20th century, it becomes evident why Leonardo da Vinci remains one of history's most revered artists. "
