EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Israhel van Meckenem and his wife Ida" offers a glimpse into the lives of this medieval couple. Created around 1490 by the talented artist Israhel van Meckenem the younger, this print measures 12.4 x 17.3 cm and showcases intricate details. The portrait depicts Israhel and Ida standing side by side, their heads adorned with distinctive hats and headdresses that were fashionable during that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the decorative patterns adorning their attire, adding an element of elegance to the composition. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is the inscription that reads "Figuratio facierum Israhelis et Ide eius uxoris" which translates to "Representation of the faces of Israhel and his wife Ida". This personal touch adds depth to our understanding of these individuals as it suggests a desire for remembrance or commemoration. As we gaze upon this intimate portrayal, we are transported back in time, imagining what life must have been like for Israhel and Ida. Their connection as spouses is palpable through their close proximity and shared presence within the frame. This engraving serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. It allows us to appreciate not only Meckenem's talent but also provides a window into the lives of ordinary people from centuries ago.
