EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copper engraving, created by the skilled hand of Giorgio Ghisi between 1564 and 1570, captures the enigmatic and timeless portrait of the renowned Italian artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. Ghisi, a prominent figure in the School of Mantua during the Mannerist period, masterfully translated the essence of Michelangelo's character and artistic genius onto the printed page. Michelangelo, born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese, Italy, was a true polymath of the Renaissance era. He excelled in sculpture, painting, and poetry, leaving an indelible mark on the world of art with his masterpieces such as the Pieta, David, and the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Ghisi's portrait of Michelangelo reveals the artist in his later years, with deep-set eyes reflecting a profound wisdom and introspection, a furrowed brow hinting at the weight of his genius, and a strong jawline that exudes an unyielding determination. The artist is depicted wearing a simple robe, with his right hand resting on his chest, as if in contemplation or deep thought. This portrait, now in a private collection, stands as a testament to Ghisi's artistry and his ability to immortalize the likeness of one of history's most influential figures. The intricately detailed engraving showcases Ghisi's mastery of the medium and his dedication to capturing the essence of Michelangelo's legacy.
