EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the contrasting foreheads of two men, representing different personality traits. Created in 1533 by Bartolommeo Cocles during the Renaissance period, this woodcut is a remarkable example of physiognomy - the study of facial features to determine character and temperament. On the left side, we see the forehead of a liberal man. It exudes openness and generosity with its gentle curves and smooth surface. This individual is likely known for their progressive thinking, tolerance, and willingness to embrace new ideas. In stark contrast, on the right side, we witness an irascible man's forehead. Its pronounced lines and furrows suggest a fiery temperament prone to anger or irritability. This person may be quick-tempered or easily provoked. Cocles' intricate woodcut technique beautifully captures these distinct facial characteristics while providing insight into human nature through physiognomy. The precision in his work reflects both scientific curiosity and artistic mastery. This historical artifact not only offers us a glimpse into Renaissance beliefs about character analysis but also serves as a reminder that our faces can reveal more than meets the eye. Whether one subscribes to physiognomy or not, this thought-provoking image invites contemplation on how our external appearance might reflect aspects of our inner selves.
