EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of "Sketches of heads" from the early 15th century. Created by an unknown artist, these sketches depict both male and female figures, including a monk and a queen. The drawing can be found in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, as part of the book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" by Bernhard Degenhart. The image transports us back to a time when art was created with pen, pencil, ink, and chalk. Each head is meticulously detailed, capturing the unique hairstyles and facial features of individuals from centuries ago. The monochrome palette adds depth and character to the composition. These sketches offer us glimpses into medieval society - its religious practices represented by the tonsured monk and regal power embodied by the crowned queen. They remind us of our rich cultural heritage and how art has evolved over time. As we admire this artwork from both the 15th century and its later reproduction in 1943, we are reminded that beauty transcends decades. This print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while also honoring those who have preserved these treasures for future generations to appreciate.
