EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable work of Ugo da Carpi, an Italian engraver from the late 15th to early 16th century. The subject of this chiaroscuro woodcut is none other than Diogenes, a renowned philosopher known for his unconventional lifestyle and profound wisdom. In this stunning piece, Da Carpi masterfully captures the essence of Diogenes with intricate details and a play of light and shadow. The image portrays Diogenes in all his glory: a bearded figure with an air of contemplation, surrounded by books that symbolize knowledge and enlightenment. His nudity serves as a reminder of his rejection of material possessions and societal norms. Parmigianino's influence on this artwork is evident through its meticulous execution and attention to anatomical accuracy. This collaboration between two great artists brings forth a powerful representation of one of history's most intriguing figures. Housed at the British Museum in London, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the world of ancient philosophy while appreciating the artistic brilliance behind it. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal quest for truth and self-discovery.
