EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases the masterful artistry of Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino, an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker from the 16th century. Born in Parma, Italy, in 1503, Parmigianino is renowned for his innovative and highly influential style, which characterized the Mannerist movement. The portrait depicted in this print is believed to be a self-portrait of the artist, capturing his introspective and intellectual nature. The profile view, with his gaze fixed on the horizon, adds an enigmatic and contemplative quality to the image. The intricate details and delicate shading, characteristic of Parmigianino's style, are evident in the rendering of the artist's profile, his flowing beard, and the folds of his clothing. Parmigianino's technique, which emphasized idealized forms, elongated proportions, and complex compositions, was a departure from the more naturalistic approaches of the High Renaissance. His influence extended beyond Italy, spreading throughout Europe and shaping the artistic landscape of the 16th and 17th centuries. This print, created in the 1840s, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal and significance of Parmigianino's work. It invites us to contemplate the artist's vision and the profound impact he had on the development of Western art. With its intricate details and evocative composition, this print is a must-have for any art collection or study of the Mannerist period.
