EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating comparison between men and cattle, taken from the 17th-century treatise "Treats de la physiognomy de l'homme compararee A la that des animaux" by Charles Lebrun. The renowned French artist, Le Brun, who lived from 1619 to 1690, delves into the intricate world of physiognomy in this thought-provoking work. The image captures the essence of Le Brun's exploration as it presents an intriguing juxtaposition between human faces and animal features. With meticulous detail and artistic finesse, he creates an imaginary character that blurs the line between man and beast. This drawing evokes a sense of wonderment as viewers are invited to contemplate the similarities and differences between humans and animals. Preserved in a private collection, this rare piece offers us a glimpse into the intellectual pursuits of 17th-century France. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures its essence through his photography expertise, allowing us to appreciate this historical gem even centuries later. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of our connection with nature and how our physicality can be both distinctively human yet reminiscent of other creatures. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with exploring our own existence through artistry and scientific inquiry.
