EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Head of a Young Woman, which is a study for the Angel in Leonardo da Vinci's renowned painting, Virgin of the Rocks. Created around 1485, this exquisite drawing can be found in the Biblioteca Reale in Turin, Italy. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Bernhard Degenhart, who featured it in his book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" (Five Hundred Years of European Drawings) published in 1943. Degenhart's monochrome depiction beautifully captures the delicate features and serene expression of the young woman's face. Leonardo da Vinci's influence on Renaissance art is evident through this study. The intricate details and precise lines reflect his mastery as an artist. This silverpoint sketch not only serves as a testament to Leonardo's skill but also offers insight into his creative process. As we gaze upon this image from both the fifteenth century and twentieth-century perspectives, we are reminded of how timeless art can be. The juxtaposition between these two eras highlights our enduring fascination with religious themes and portraiture. This print invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity that lies within human form while honoring one of history's greatest artistic minds. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, Leonardo da Vinci continues to inspire artists and captivate audiences worldwide with his profound contributions to art history.
