EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 2: The Children of Pedro González, also known as Petrus Gonsalvus, is a captivating and intriguing work of art created by the renowned Flemish artist Joris Hoefnagel around 1575-1580. This stunning watercolor and gouache illustration on vellum, with an ornate gold oval border, showcases six children believed to be the offspring of Petrus Gonsalvus, a man famed for his unique physical condition known as hypertrichosis, or excessive hair growth. The children, dressed in European clothing of the late sixteenth century, are depicted in a natural setting, surrounded by roses and other flowers. The girls wear elegant pink dresses, while the boys are dressed in simple tunics and breeches. Their healthy and happy appearances contrast sharply with the stigmatized image of their father, who was often portrayed as a freak or a monster due to his condition. This illustration is a testament to Hoefnagel's exceptional artistic skill and his ability to portray his subjects with sensitivity and compassion. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details adds to the beauty and allure of the artwork. The Children of Pedro González is an important work of art that offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the lives of people with unusual physical conditions and the way they were perceived during the Renaissance period. This masterpiece is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
