EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases a woodcut titled "PHYSIOGNOMY, 1658. Forehead of a man destined to die a violent death". Created in 1658 by Hieronymous Cardanus, this intriguing piece is part of his renowned work called Metoposcopia. The image focuses solely on the forehead of a man, revealing intricate details that hint at his ominous fate. The lines and contours etched into the woodcut convey an air of foreboding, as if destiny has left its mark upon this individual's face. It is said that those who possess such distinctive features are bound to meet their end through violence. Cardanus was known for his expertise in physiognomy – the study of facial features and their relation to character traits or destinies. This particular woodcut serves as a testament to his deep understanding and interpretation of human faces. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, we cannot help but wonder about the life led by this mysterious man. What events have shaped him? What circumstances surround his impending doom? The artist leaves us with more questions than answers, inviting us to contemplate the fragility and unpredictability of our own existence. This print captures not only an exquisite piece of art but also invites us to reflect on themes such as mortality, destiny, and violence – timeless subjects that continue to captivate humanity throughout history.
