EDITORS COMMENTS
Master I.B., also known as Master I. or Meister I.B., was a renowned German artist of the 16th century, active primarily in the allegorical and figurative tradition. This print, titled "Fortitudo" or "Fortitude," is a testament to his artistic mastery and the enduring power of allegory in art. The central figure in this depiction is Fortitudo, the personification of strength and endurance. She is shown as a seated woman, her muscular form exuding power and resilience. Her most striking feature is the lion at her feet, symbolizing her ability to overcome adversity and conquer fear. The grey tonality of the print adds to the sense of timelessness and gravitas, while the stark contrast between the white figure and the black background enhances the visual impact. This print is a prime example of the artistic school of the late Gothic and early Renaissance periods in Germany. It is a fascinating glimpse into the cultural heritage of the time, reflecting the values and beliefs of a society that placed great importance on fortitude and strength of character. The print is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire admiration for the artistic genius of Master I.B. The image of Fortitudo, with her fierce determination and unwavering resolve, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit and the ability to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
