EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Similarities between the heads of a horse and a man" offers a thought-provoking exploration of the parallelism between human and animal physiognomy. The image is an engraving by Charles Le Brun, taken from his renowned Livre de portraiture pour ceux qui commencent a dessiner (Book of Portraiture for Beginners). In this remarkable piece, Le Brun skillfully captures the connection between two seemingly disparate creatures - a horse and a man. Through intricate details and meticulous shading, he highlights striking similarities in their facial appearances. This study in comparison invites viewers to ponder the shared characteristics that exist across species. The artist's intention goes beyond mere aesthetics; it delves into deeper questions about our place within the natural world. By juxtaposing these two distinct beings side by side, Le Brun prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with animals and recognize the fundamental unity that underlies all living beings. This intriguing artwork also serves as an educational tool, as it was originally created as part of a book teaching aspiring artists how to draw. Its inclusion in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris attests to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded not only of our shared physical attributes but also of our interconnectedness with nature itself – an enduring testament to art's ability to inspire contemplation and bridge gaps between different realms.
