EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Head Man Profile" created in the 1490s by Luca Signorelli, an Italian artist from Cortona. Executed with black chalk and pen, enhanced with brown ink and white highlights, this drawing measures approximately 11 3/4 x 9 5/8 inches (299 x 244 cm). The significance of this piece lies in its representation of a scientific study conducted during the fifteenth century. It serves as an exercise in foreshortening, offering alternative perspectives on the construction of the human head. The meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of shading demonstrate Signorelli's mastery as an artist. By examining this sheet closely, viewers can appreciate how Signorelli pushed the boundaries of artistic techniques at that time. His exploration of perspective and anatomical accuracy makes it evident why he is considered one of the leading figures in Renaissance art. This print allows us to admire every intricate line and stroke captured from the original artwork. It offers a glimpse into Signorelli's creative process while providing art enthusiasts with an opportunity to delve into his world centuries later.
