EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the 16th century depicts Pedro Gonzalez, a nobleman renowned for his exceptional condition of hypertrichosis, or extreme hairiness, and his striking French wife. Born around 1582, Pedro, also known as Petrus or Gonzales, was a figure of fascination and intrigue during the Renaissance era. His hairy appearance, a condition now known as Ambras Syndrome, set him apart from his peers and earned him the moniker "El Hombre de LaSierra," or "The Man of the Mountain." Despite his unique appearance, Pedro's social status was undeniable. He was a nobleman, hailing from the Canary Islands, and was well-educated, speaking multiple languages and possessing a keen intellect. His wife, of "outstanding beauty," is depicted in this print with a regal bearing and an air of grace. The couple's union defied societal norms and challenged the prevailing beliefs of the time, demonstrating that love knows no bounds. This image, a testament to the intrigue and wonder of the human condition, has captured the imagination of generations. With its fairy-tale like quality, it invites us to reflect on the complexities of identity, acceptance, and the power of love. The story of Pedro Gonzalez and his wife serves as a reminder that beauty is not confined to superficial appearances and that the human spirit is capable of transcending even the most extraordinary circumstances.
