EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a board illustrated with different types of tattoos of criminals, as depicted in "The criminal man" by the renowned Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this intriguing piece is part of a private collection. The image offers a glimpse into the world of criminality and serves as a testament to Lombroso's pioneering work in criminology and anthropology. Lombroso believed that certain physical characteristics, such as tattoos, could provide insights into an individual's propensity for criminal behavior. The intricate engravings on the board reveal various tattoo designs adorning different parts of the body. Each tattoo tells its own story, representing not only acts committed but also affiliations within the criminal underworld. This visual representation demonstrates how tattoos served as permanent marks on individuals' bodies, signifying their involvement in illicit activities. Beyond its historical significance, this print invites contemplation about society's understanding of crime and deviance throughout history. It highlights how knowledge has evolved over time through scientific disciplines like anthropometry and anatomy. Giancarlo Costa expertly captures this thought-provoking artwork while preserving its authenticity for future generations to appreciate. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of humanity's complex relationship with crime and our continuous quest for understanding it better.
