Phyllis and Aristotle
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Hans Brosamer, created around 1545, showcased at the Art Institute of Chicago. This masterpiece, hailing from the 16th century, transports us back in time to an intriguing scene of ancient folklore. The engraving, in black on ivory laid paper, depicts the legendary encounter between Phyllis and Aristotle. Phyllis, a beautiful woman, is shown in a dominant position as she rides Aristotle, the renowned philosopher, in a side saddle. Her grey gown, adorned with intricate patterns, contrasts sharply with the black and white monochrome background. Aristotle, dressed in academic robes, wears a thoughtful expression as he holds a scroll in one hand and a whip in the other, signifying his intellectual prowess and submission to Phyllis's allure. The scene is set in a rustic, pastoral location, with trees and foliage in the background, reflecting the simple pleasures of folk life. The dominance and domination in this depiction are noteworthy, with Phyllis's grey figure towering over Aristotle, who is crawling beneath her, adding an element of surprise and intrigue to the image. This engraving is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the arts, showcasing the concept of power dynamics and the interplay between the sexes in a historical context. It is a must-see exhibit for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the works of German artists from the 16th century. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this masterpiece, which continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
