Serene and Stern: Dualities of Raphael by C. Dupuis, 1740

About the Item

This engraving by C. Dupuis, part of the "Recueil de XC Têtes tirées des Sept Cartons des Actes des Apôtres," features two contrasting profiles. On the left is a serene and contemplative face with a soft gaze and flowing hair, creating a sense of peaceful wisdom or divine contemplation. This figure’s calm demeanor is accentuated by the gentle curls that cascade down, adding to the overall sense of tranquility. On the right, the second figure strikes a sterner, more rugged appearance, with tightly curled hair and a gaze that could be interpreted as intense or introspective. The facial expression is more severe, with furrowed brows and a strong jawline that suggests determination or perhaps a hardened life experience. The inscription at the bottom left, "Raph. Urb. pin.", indicates that the original design was by the renowned Renaissance artist Raphael Sanzio from Urbino. The engraving, done by C. Dupuis, is marked on the bottom right, showcasing the collaborative nature of this artistic endeavor. Each profile encapsulates different aspects of human character, from divine serenity to worldly sternness, reflecting the range of emotions and personas that Raphael often explored in his work.
