EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Similarities Between the Head of a Fox and a Man" transports us to the world of art and exploration. Created by Charles Le Brun, a renowned artist from the 17th century, this engraving is part of his Livre de portraiture pour ceux qui commencent a dessiner (Book of Portraiture for Beginners). The image showcases an intriguing parallel between human and animal physiognomy, specifically comparing the facial features of a fox with those of a man. It invites us to ponder on the connections that exist between different species and challenges our perception of identity. Le Brun's work not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also as an educational tool. This book was designed to teach aspiring artists how to draw accurately by studying various subjects, including portraits. By examining the likeness and facial appearance shared by humans and animals, it encourages students to observe nature in all its forms. Housed in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this remarkable piece captures our attention with its thought-provoking concept. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded that art has no boundaries - it can bridge gaps between seemingly unrelated entities like humans and foxes. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder brought to us by Bridgeman Images, we are invited into Le Brun's world where parallels are drawn between two distinct beings – reminding us that beauty lies not only within ourselves but also within unexpected connections found throughout nature.
