EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases the intricate details of physiognomy, a study that examines facial features to determine one's character. Dating back to 1533, this woodcut engraving by Bartolommeo Cocles delves into the world of deceit and audacity through the portrayal of two distinct sets of eyelashes. On the left side, we are presented with the eyelashes of a malicious and mendacious man. The artist skillfully captures their sinister essence, emphasizing their sharpness and intensity. These lashes seem to whisper secrets and plot mischievous schemes, reflecting the dark nature hidden within this individual's soul. Contrasting with these wicked lashes is another set on the right side belonging to an audacious and conceited man. Here, we witness an air of confidence as these lashes curl upwards boldly. They exude self-assurance and pride, suggesting a person who is unafraid to take risks or assert themselves in any situation. Through this thought-provoking image, Cocles invites us to ponder upon human nature during the Renaissance era. It serves as a reminder that our external appearance can often reveal glimpses into our inner selves - whether it be malice or audacity. As we gaze at this remarkable woodcut print today, let us reflect on how much physiognomy has evolved over time while acknowledging its historical significance in understanding human behavior during early modern society.
