The Great Sforzia - A Captivating Glimpse into the Art of Physiognomy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print showcases "The Great Sforzia" an exquisite 18th-century engraving by the English School. The portrait depicts a bearded man in profile, his gaze drawing viewers into a world of mystery and intrigue. Engraved by the talented John Barlow, this masterpiece was originally published in Johann Kaspar Lavater's renowned work, "Essays on physiognomy". In this remarkable image, we witness the power of physiognomy as it captures not only the subject's external appearance but also hints at his inner character and personality. The intricate details etched onto paper reveal every contour of his face - from the lines etched by time to the carefully groomed facial hair that frames his countenance. Adorned with a stylish hat that adds an air of sophistication, our enigmatic protagonist stands as a testament to both fashion and individuality. His half-length portrayal allows us to appreciate every strand of hair meticulously rendered by Barlow's skilled hand. As part of the esteemed Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, this print transports us back in time to an era when portraiture held great significance. It serves as a reminder that art has always been deeply intertwined with human expression and self-perception. Immerse yourself in "The Great Sforzia" and let your imagination wander through centuries past. Discover what secrets lie behind
