Dialogue of Eras: Cap and Feather in Profile by Pigné, 1740
About the Item
This engraving depicts two contrasting profiles. On the left is a male figure adorned with a detailed, patterned cap, his features marked by a hooked nose and a small, tightly curled beard. He appears to be in mid-conversation, his mouth slightly open as if speaking.
The figure on the right is a female, her gaze direct and serene. She is crowned with an ornate, feathered headdress, and her hair is styled in an elaborate manner that suggests a person of importance or an allegorical figure. The woman's clear, calm gaze contrasts with the man's active expression, creating a dynamic interplay between the two characters.
The engraving is marked "Raph. Urb. pin." on the left, identifying the original painting by Raphael Sanzio from Urbino, and "N. Pigné. sculp." on the right, indicating that Nicolas Pigné executed the engraving. This work is likely part of the "Recueil de XC Têtes" project, where Sir Nicolas Dorigny directed skilled engravers like Pigné to bring Raphael's cartoons to a wider audience through prints.
The distinct personalities captured in these profiles reflect the Renaissance's emphasis on individual character and emotion. The engraving technique used allows for fine detail, especially in the textures of the cap and the feathers, highlighting the artisans' skills in translating Raphael's work into engravings.
