EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Head of a man with protruding chin and snub nose looking upwards in profile to left" transports us back to the 17th century. Created by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar, this etching showcases his exceptional ability to capture intricate details and convey emotion through his work. The subject of this piece is a male figure with distinct features that immediately draw our attention. His pronounced chin juts forward, while his snub nose adds character to his face. Looking upwards with an intense gaze, we can't help but wonder what thoughts are occupying his mind. Hollar's mastery lies not only in capturing physical attributes but also in evoking a sense of curiosity within the viewer. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate the contours of the man's face as well as admire Hollar's skillful use of shading and lines. As we delve into this artwork, it becomes evident that Hollar was influenced by great artists such as Leonardo da Vinci. The grotesque yet intriguing nature of this portrait echoes da Vinci's exploration of human anatomy and expression. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece from Bohemia serves as a testament to Hollar's artistic legacy. It invites us to contemplate the complexities and diversity found within humanity itself – an enduring concept that transcends time and place.
