EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand takes us back to the Renaissance era, specifically 1533. The woodcut image showcases two contrasting sets of eyelashes - those of a crafty man on the left and a guileless man on the right. The intricate details in this artwork allow us to delve into the world of physiognomy, an ancient practice that believed one's facial features could reveal their character traits and personality. Bartolommeo Cocles' Physiognomonia serves as the source for this intriguing piece. On the left side, we see the eyelashes of a crafty man. They are depicted with precision and finesse, hinting at his cunning nature. These lashes seem to curl slightly upwards, adding an air of mystery and deceitfulness to his gaze. In stark contrast, on the right side lies another set of eyelashes belonging to a guileless man. These lashes appear straighter and more innocent-looking compared to their counterpart. They reflect honesty and simplicity, suggesting that this individual lacks any hidden motives or devious intentions. This woodcut not only showcases artistic skill but also provides insight into how people during that time perceived others based solely on their physical appearance. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans were fascinated by understanding each other through visual cues like these subtle variations in eyelash shape.
