EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pride" by Jacob Matham, transports us back to the 16th or 17th century with its evocative depiction of a woman admiring her reflection in a looking glass. The monochrome, image, created by the renowned Netherlandish artist Hendrick Goltzius and his apprentice Jacob Matham, showcases the intricacies of their engraving techniques on laid paper. The woman, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, exudes a sense of pride and self-confidence as she gazes at her reflection, her posture and expression conveying a sense of satisfaction and contentment. The mirror, a symbol of vanity and self-reflection, adds an element of introspection and contemplation to the scene. This powerful image, with its timeless themes of self-image and self-worth, is a testament to the enduring allure of art and the human condition. The engraving is part of the rich artistic heritage of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and serves as a reminder of the profound impact of art from the 16th and 17th centuries on our contemporary culture.
