EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Young Girl" was created by the talented Flemish artist Petrus Christus around 1460. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection at the Staatliche Museen in Berlin, Germany. The young girl depicted in this artwork exudes an air of haughtiness and somberness, as her expression and posture suggest. Dressed in a fashionable medieval attire, she wears a stunning headdress adorned with intricate jewelry and a delicate necklace that accentuates her youthful beauty. Petrus Christus masterfully captures the essence of this female subject, showcasing his exceptional skill in portraying human emotion through art. The use of oil paints adds depth and richness to the colors, enhancing every detail from her dress to her headgear. This piece transports us back to the fifteenth century when women's fashion was both elegant and elaborate. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of people during that time period while also highlighting their appreciation for art media. "Portrait of a Young Girl" serves as a testament to Christus' artistic prowess and his ability to capture not only physical attributes but also inner emotions. This print allows us to appreciate this remarkable work from our own homes while honoring its historical significance.
