Explore the power of reflection and introspection with this striking black and white art print of a woman before a mirror by Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. Created in the 1890s, this piece showcases Mesquita's mastery of graphic arts, particularly his skill with woodcuts and etchings. The stark contrasts, bold lines, and intricate details create a powerful and evocative image. The mirror acts as a symbolic device, prompting contemplation on themes of identity, self-perception, and the passage of time. This print is perfect for those who appreciate graphic arts, black and white photography, and symbolic imagery.
Did you know? Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita's work, though highly regarded for its artistic merit, was largely overlooked during his lifetime. The tragic circumstance of his death adds a layer of poignancy to his art, reminding us of the fragility of life and the importance of preserving artistic heritage. His influence on M.C. Escher, however, helped to preserve his artistic legacy even before his wider recognition.
Bring a touch of graphic artistry and introspective beauty into your home with this compelling "Woman Before a Mirror" print.
