EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bust of elderly man with nose that meets his lower lip, wearing wide flat cap in profile to left, 1665" takes us back to the 17th century. The image showcases a bohemian gentleman with an extraordinary facial feature - a prominent nose that seamlessly merges into his lower lip. His weathered face tells tales of wisdom and experience. The subject's choice of headwear is equally intriguing; he dons a wide flat cap that adds character to his already distinctive appearance. Wenceslaus Hollar, the talented artist behind this etching, masterfully captures the essence of this grotesque yet fascinating figure. As we gaze upon this side view portrait, we are transported to another era where Leonardo da Vinci's influence on art was still palpable. The attention to detail in every line and contour reflects Hollar's skillful craftsmanship and dedication to preserving history through visual storytelling. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece from Wenceslaus Hollar's collection serves as a testament to the enduring power of portraiture. It reminds us that even centuries later, these glimpses into people's lives continue to captivate our imagination and connect us with our shared human heritage.
