EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing by Andrea del Sarto titled "Jeune homme et tete de vieillard, probablement Homere" (A youth and the head of an old man, probably Homer). Created in 1521, this study in sanguine on paper measures approximately 23.9x27.7 cm and is currently housed at the Staatliche Museen in Berlin. The drawing depicts two figures side by side: a young man and the profile of an elderly gentleman, believed to be the legendary Greek poet Homer. Del Sarto's meticulous attention to detail brings out the contrasting features of youth and old age, capturing both their physical characteristics and emotional depth. The artist's use of sanguine - a red chalk medium - adds warmth and richness to this exquisite piece. The delicate lines reveal his mastery in capturing human expression with precision and sensitivity. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to the Renaissance period in Italy when artists like del Sarto flourished. This drawing exemplifies his ability to convey complex emotions through portraiture while paying homage to classical literature. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' partnership with Fine Art Finder, admirers around the world can now enjoy this timeless masterpiece from their own homes. Let it serve as a reminder of art's power to transcend time and connect us with our shared cultural heritage.
