EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "The Medici Wrestlers, side view, turned to right [plate 35]" by François Perrier, dates back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the athletic and artistic traditions of the Italian Medici dynasty. The image, etched on laid paper, showcases two muscular male figures in a side view, turned to the right, engaged in a wrestling match. The black and white contrast of the monochrome print adds to the timeless and classic feel of the artwork. The Medici family, known for their patronage of the arts and sciences, are depicted here in an intimate and raw moment of physical exertion. Their naked bodies, showcasing the definition of their muscles, are a testament to their athletic prowess. The etching, created by François Perrier in France, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Italy during the 17th century. This artwork, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a significant addition to any art collection or gallery. Its historical significance, coupled with its aesthetic appeal, makes it a must-have for art enthusiasts and scholars alike. The side view of the wrestlers, with their focused expressions and taut muscles, conveys a sense of strength and determination that resonates with viewers even today. The etching's black and white composition, with its intricate details and shading, is a testament to Perrier's mastery of the etching technique. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty of the human form and the athletic spirit of the Medici dynasty, making it a valuable addition to any art center or gallery.
