A striking etching by Jusepe de Ribera, this print captures a man's head in profile with unflinching detail. The artist's use of line creates shadows and textures, giving the face a sense of depth and volume.
This etching by Jusepe de Ribera (1591-1652) presents a striking, unflinching study of a man's head in profile. Ribera, a Spanish-born artist who spent most of his career in Naples, was known for his tenebrism and naturalistic depictions. This work, executed in etching on laid paper, exemplifies his interest in capturing the human form with raw honesty. The subject's features are exaggerated, almost caricatured, with a large, bulbous nose, thick lips, and a wrinkled neck. He wears a soft cap that droops to one side and a ruffled collar. The artist's use of line is particularly noteworthy; fine, closely spaced lines create shadows and textures, giving the face a sense of depth and volume. The overall effect is both unsettling and compelling, inviting the viewer to contemplate the nature of beauty and the human condition. Ribera's skill in etching allowed him to create a work with remarkable detail and tonal range, capturing the nuances of light and shadow on the subject's face.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

painting Naples's street people as saints and philosophers with a naturalism more visceral than Caravaggio's
