EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Do Not Turn Back When You Arrive at the End [fol. 26 verso / 27 recto], 1512/1514" created by an unknown artist in the 16th century. The piece, rendered with pen and brown ink along with watercolor on two joined sheets of laid paper, is a remarkable example of allegorical art. The image portrays an allegorical figure standing amidst a backdrop that represents acceptance and guidance. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork captures the essence of governance and literature during that era. The man depicted in the drawing symbolizes a monarch or ruler, possibly a French king from that time period. This piece may have been part of a series known as "Mirrors for Princes" which provided instructions and advice to rulers on how to govern their countries effectively. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this heritage art exemplifies not only artistic skill but also serves as a testament to historical significance. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into sixteenth-century culture and explore concepts such as behavior, sovereignty, and mortality. As we gaze upon this enigmatic artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and complexity of Renaissance-era France through the eyes of an anonymous artist whose talent continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
