EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Three profile heads, one in outline only" is a remarkable creation by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar. Dating back to the 17th century, this piece showcases three distinct profiles of men, each with its own unique features and expressions. The etching technique used by Hollar brings out intricate details in these profiles, allowing us to observe every contour and line with great precision. One of the profiles stands out as it is depicted solely through an outline, adding a touch of mystery to the composition. Hollar's work pays homage to Leonardo da Vinci's iconic style, reminiscent of his famous drawings that captured human anatomy flawlessly. The influence of da Vinci can be seen in the meticulous attention given to each facial feature and expression. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Hollar's skillful craftsmanship and artistic vision. It transports viewers back in time to seventeenth-century Bohemia (now known as the Czech Republic), where Hollar hailed from. As we gaze upon these profile heads, we are invited into a world where age-old wisdom meets youthful innocence. Each face tells its own story - tales of experience and dreams yet unfulfilled. Through this masterpiece by Wenceslaus Hollar, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found within humanity itself.
