EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "The Medici Wrestlers, side view, turned to left [plate 36]" by François Perrier, dates back to the 17th century. The image showcases a dynamic and athletic scene of two nude male figures locked in a wrestling match, expertly captured in black and white on laid paper. The side view perspective adds an intriguing dimension to the composition, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details of their muscular forms and the subtle play of tension and movement. The Medici family, an influential Italian dynasty, is the subject of this artwork. The House of Medici was known for its patronage of the arts and sciences, and this etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time. The two wrestlers, with their powerful bodies and focused expressions, embody the strength and vitality of the era. François Perrier, the French artist, masterfully etched this monochrome masterpiece, showcasing his skill in capturing the human form in its most natural and raw state. The etching is now part of the prestigious collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring appeal of athletic prowess and the beauty of the human body, as well as the historical significance of the Medici family and their patronage of the arts.
