EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Charondas Suicide: Charondas Head" created by the renowned artist Hans Holbein d. J. in 1521. The piece, measuring 32.8 x 19 cm, is executed with tempera on lime plaster using the al secco technique. The composition depicts a powerful and emotive scene where Charondas, an ancient Greek lawmaker known for his strict moral code, takes his own life. The intensity of this moment is beautifully captured by Holbein's masterful brushwork and attention to detail. Despite its age, this print remains unmarked and remarkably well-preserved. On the tape accompanying it, we find the Latin word "MORS" meaning death—a poignant reminder of the theme explored in this artwork. Hans Holbein d. J. , born around 1497/98 in Augsburg and later settling in London until his passing in 1543, was celebrated for his ability to convey human emotions through portraiture and historical scenes alike. This work exemplifies his talent as he skillfully captures both physical likeness and internal turmoil within Charondas' expression. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print serves as a testament to Holbein's enduring legacy as one of history's most influential artists
