Three Male Caricatures
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous pen and ink drawing on buff laid paper by the renowned Italian artists Pier Francesco Mola and Angelo de Rossi, dating from the 17th or 18th century. The drawing showcases three caricatured figures, each with distinct and exaggerated features, adding a touch of wit and humor to the artwork. Mola, also known as Piero Franceso Mola or Pietro Franceso Mola, was a prominent Italian artist from Lugano, Switzerland, who is best known for his caricatures and satirical drawings. Angelo de Rossi, also known as Angelo Rossi, was an Italian engraver and printmaker, who collaborated with Mola on several works. The three male figures in this drawing are depicted in black and white, using iron gall ink, a common medium for ink drawings during this period. The men's faces are exaggerated, with one having a large nose, another with a prominent chin, and the third with a wide-open mouth. Their bodies are also caricatured, with one figure's large belly and another's thin, elongated limbs. This artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy during the 17th and 18th centuries, a time when caricatures and satirical drawings were popular forms of artistic expression. It is a fascinating depiction of the human condition, using humor and exaggeration to highlight the quirks and idiosyncrasies of everyday life. This rare and intriguing print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the area of caricatures and satire. It is currently housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, where it can be viewed by the public as part of their extensive collection of prints and drawings. Whether you are an art aficionado or simply someone who appreciates a good laugh, this drawing is sure to leave a lasting impression.
