1480 1500 1530 1532 Carpi Chiaroscuro Cock Diogenes Featherless
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ugo da Carpi's masterpiece, "Diogenes with the featherless cock" created between 1500 and 1530. The renowned artist, born in 1480 and believed to have passed away around 1532, skillfully brings to life the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes alongside a peculiar featherless cock. In this retro-styled vintage piece, Carpi employs his signature chiaroscuro technique to create a striking contrast between light and shadow. The woodcut art adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its historical allure. The image transports us back in time as we witness Diogenes' contemplative gaze upon the enigmatic creature before him. Known for his unconventional lifestyle and philosophical teachings advocating simplicity and self-sufficiency, Diogenes appears deep in thought while holding this unusual bird. As we delve into this arkheia (ancient Greek term meaning archive), we are reminded of our connection with history and how it continues to shape our present. This artwork serves as a visual representation of timeless wisdom that transcends generations.
