EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artistic brilliance of Maso Finiguerra, a renowned Renaissance goldsmith and printmaker. The image depicts a young boy brandishing a cutlass with an air of confidence and determination. Created in the 15th century using iron gall ink on laid paper, this Italian School artwork exemplifies Finiguerra's mastery in capturing intricate details. Born into a family of goldsmiths in Florence, Italy, Tommaso Finiguerra's talent extended beyond his traditional craft. His expertise as an engraver, draftsman, and designer is evident in this remarkable piece. Notably recognized for his contributions to niello - a decorative metalwork technique - Finiguerra also played a significant role as one of the first major Italian printmakers. The composition exudes both strength and curiosity as the young protagonist holds the cutlass firmly yet gazes intently at something beyond our view. This enigmatic quality adds depth to the artwork, inviting viewers to ponder its narrative or symbolism. Displayed by Royal Cornwall Museum without any commercial intent, this vintage masterpiece transports us back to an era where artistry flourished amidst cultural transformations. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Italian Florentine school artists like Pollaiuolo and De Pass while showcasing Finiguerra's unique contribution to their esteemed ranks. As we admire this old master's creation from centuries ago, it reminds us that true artistry transcends time and continues to inspire generations with its timeless beauty.
