EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, titled "Two deformed heads" was created by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar in the 17th century. The image showcases two individuals with distinctively unusual features, capturing their grotesque yet captivating appearance. The subjects of this artwork are depicted wearing traditional Bohemian clothing from that era. Their faces, meticulously engraved by Hollar's skilled hand, display a range of emotions and expressions. The male figure sports a plaited hairstyle under his hat while the female figure's hair is elegantly styled. Hollar's work often drew inspiration from renowned artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, evident in the intricate details and composition of this piece. The influence of Da Vinci can be seen in the meticulous rendering of facial features and attention to anatomical accuracy. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print is part of Hollar's heritage art collection. It serves as a testament to his exceptional talent for capturing human form and expression through engravings. As we gaze upon these deformed heads frozen in time, we are left pondering about their stories and what led them to become subjects for artistic exploration. This thought-provoking image invites us to contemplate notions of beauty, identity, and societal perceptions throughout history.
