EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand transports us back to the year 1648, where we find ourselves gazing at a woodcut titled "PHYSIOGNOMY, 1648. Forehead of a vicious woman". The intricate details and craftsmanship of this artwork are truly mesmerizing. The image showcases the forehead of a woman who exudes an air of wickedness. Every line and curve etched into the woodcut tells a story, revealing her inner nature through the ancient art of physiognomy. This centuries-old practice believed that one's facial features could provide insight into their character and personality traits. As we examine this particular depiction, it becomes evident that there is something sinister about this woman's countenance. Her forehead bears distinct markings that hint at her malevolent tendencies. It is as if her very essence has been captured within these lines, allowing us to peer into her soul. Created by Philippus Phinellas for his renowned work "Metoposcopia" which delves deep into the study of metoposcopy (the interpretation of facial features), this woodcut serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact. Its origin in Antwerp, Belgium adds another layer to its allure, connecting us with European history during the 17th century. Whether you are fascinated by physiognomy or simply appreciate exquisite artistry from centuries past, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into our understanding of human nature throughout history.
