EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Quint Lox beautifully captures the essence of John Smith after Godfried Schalcken's famous mezzotint artwork. The original piece, created by English artist Godfried Schalcken around 1694, is a stunning example of the artist's mastery in capturing light and shadow. Lox's photograph showcases the intricate details and delicate tones of the mezzotint on laid paper. The image transports us back to a time when portraiture was highly valued for its ability to capture not only physical likeness but also the sitter's personality and status. John Smith, whose identity remains unknown beyond his name, gazes directly at the viewer with an air of confidence and self-assurance. His features are expertly rendered through subtle shading and meticulous attention to detail. The use of black-and-white photography adds a timeless quality to this print, emphasizing both the historical significance of Schalcken's work and Lox's skill as a photographer. Each line etched into Smith's face tells a story that spans centuries. Quint Lox invites us to appreciate this remarkable fusion between art forms - where painting meets photography - offering viewers an opportunity to engage with history in a new way. This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and our enduring fascination with capturing human expression across different mediums.
