EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand takes us back to the Renaissance era, specifically to the year 1531. Titled "PHYSIOGNOMY, 1531. Hair of an arrogant character, and that of a weak character" it showcases a woodcut by Johannes Indagines Chiromantia. In this intriguing artwork, we are presented with two contrasting hairstyles that symbolize distinct personality traits. The first hairstyle represents arrogance, characterized by its boldness and flamboyance. It exudes confidence and dominance through its intricate design and meticulous styling. On the other hand, the second hairstyle embodies weakness with its simplicity and lack of flair. Its meek appearance suggests vulnerability and timidity in contrast to the previous one's audacity. Through this woodcut, Indagines explores physiognomy - the belief that facial features can reveal one's character or temperament. This ancient practice aimed to decipher people's personalities based on their physical attributes such as hair type or face shape. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of how perceptions have evolved over time while recognizing that appearances can still influence our judgments today. Let this artwork serve as a reminder for us to look beyond external appearances and delve deeper into understanding individuals for who they truly are rather than relying solely on superficial impressions
