EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PHYSIOGNOMY, 1533. Foreheads of vain and lustful men" takes us back to the year 1533 in Strassburg, Germany. The image is a woodcut from Bartolommeo Cocles' renowned work on physiognomy called Physiognomonia. The intricate details of this woodcut draw our attention to the foreheads of these men, revealing their innermost traits. Each forehead tells a unique story - one filled with vanity and another consumed by lust. The lines etched into the wood bring forth an air of mystery as we ponder what lies beneath these seemingly ordinary faces. Cocles' exploration of physiognomy delves deep into understanding human character through physical features such as facial expressions, shapes, and contours. This particular piece captures the essence of his study by focusing solely on foreheads - a part often associated with intelligence and personality. As we gaze at this historical artwork, it transports us to a time when people sought answers about themselves through unconventional means like physiognomy. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans were fascinated by self-discovery and understanding others. This print from Granger Art on Demand serves as both an intriguing glimpse into history and a thought-provoking reflection on human nature itself.
